⚠️ Beware of tax refund scams!

We have received reports of scam emails with the subject “Refund Ticket” that is targeting individual taxpayers. This is a tax refund scam where scammers will inform you that you are eligible for refunds due to prior overcharge or payouts from IRAS. The email will include a suspicious weblink that is likely to direct you to a phishing website.

Members of the public are advised to ignore the phishing email and:
- Do not click on the link
- Check for suspicious emails that appear to be from IRAS

What you should know:
- IRAS will not send you emails on your tax refund amount
- Any tax refunds are automatically credited into your bank account registered with IRAS or PayNow (NRIC/FIN/UEN) accounts

To learn more about how to protect yourself against scams, please visit go.gov.sg/iras-scam.

Last week, the #IRASFam attended the 6th Belt and Road Initiative Tax Administration Cooperation Forum (BRITACOF) in Kathmandu, Nepal.

During the forum's second segment on Taxpayer Service Product Portfolio, Assistant Commissioner of the Taxpayer Experience Division Raymond Tan outlined IRAS' transformation journey towards service excellence. He shared how IRAS has evolved from a traditional “tax collector” to a “trusted partner” - delivering digital, empathetic, and personalised services through simplified processes, seamless platforms, and targeted engagement. This shift has improved the taxpayer experience and set new standards for public service delivery.

AC Raymond also moderated the subsequent panel discussion, guiding meaningful conversations on innovative taxpayer service approaches. The dialogue centred on advancing digitalisation, fostering service innovation, and strengthening taxpayer trust.

BRITACOF's commitment to resource building, collaboration, and knowledge exchange reinforces our dedication to delivering resilient and inclusive taxpayer services that are accessible, competent, and fair. Through such meaningful partnerships, we can learn from global best practices and continuously improve our service delivery standards.
