What an energising day of Purpose, Passion, and People at our recent Town Hall!

Our Permanent Secretary Mr Lai Chung Han and Commissioner Mr Ow Fook Chuen set the stage with their reflections and strategic directions for the year ahead, inspiring us to innovate, collaborate, and lead with purpose.

The panel dialogues that followed sparked meaningful conversations on how we can be a high-performing, highly engaged, passionate and purpose-driven organisation.

We also celebrated the people who power #OneIRAS — from award-winning innovators to long-serving and retiring colleagues. Their dedication and impact remind us why people are at the heart of everything we do.

Through commitment and collaboration, we’re transforming tax administration to partner you in nation-building and inclusive growth! ✨

At the Accounting & Business Show 2025, IRAS shared how we're revolutionising tax filing and transforming GST compliance through three game-changing initiatives: Seamless Filing From Software (SFFS), One-Stop Payroll (OSP) and GST InvoiceNow, aimed at making tax and payroll filing faster, more accurate, and business-friendly.

By collaborating with software developers and integrating tax processes into businesses' natural workflows through APIs, we're making fulfilling tax obligations easier than ever before and strengthening Singapore's position as a trusted and forward-looking business hub.

At any point in time, if you can reasonably expect your taxable turnover to be more than $1 million in the next 12 months, you must apply for GST registration within 30 days after the date of forecast.

✅ Here’s what’s new: Businesses registering for GST under the prospective view are now given a two-month grace period to begin charging GST if the date of forecast is on or after 1 Jul 2025. This is an extension from the previous one-month period.

This means that businesses will be registered and begin charging GST two months from the date of forecast.

For more information, visit go.gov.sg/taxbytes-extended-grace-period-to-charge-GST.
