IRAS myTax Portal Guide: File & Pay Singapore Income Tax (2026)

Filing your personal income tax in Singapore is fast and convenient through the official IRAS myTax Portal. Whether you receive a No-Filing Service (NFS) notification or need to submit a full tax return, understanding the filing steps, deadlines, and payment channels ensures hassle-free compliance.

1. Key IRAS Tax Deadlines

2. No-Filing Service (NFS) vs Manual Filing

If your employer participates in the Auto-Inclusion Scheme (AIS), your employment income details are transmitted directly to IRAS. Taxpayers who receive an SMS or letter confirming No-Filing Service (NFS) status do not need to file a return, unless they need to update personal reliefs or non-employment income.

3. Step-by-Step e-Filing via myTax Portal

1. Log in to myTax Portal: Use Singpass authentication at mytax.iras.gov.sg.
2. Verify Pre-filled Employment Income: Review salary, bonuses, and director fees reported under AIS (Form IR8A).
3. Declare Additional Income: Input net rental income, trade income, or royalties earned during the year.
4. Claim Tax Reliefs: Ensure all eligible personal reliefs (Earned Income, SRS, Parent/Child relief) are claimed.
5. Submit & Retain Acknowledgment: Save your digital filing receipt.

4. Reviewing Your Notice of Assessment (NOA)

IRAS issues your tax bill (Notice of Assessment) between May and September. Taxpayers have 30 days from the NOA date to pay tax or file an objection if there are errors.

• 12-Month GIRO Installments: Interest-free monthly automatic bank deductions.
