SINGAPORE : Singaporeans will find it easier to file tax returns
electronically this year.
Submitting your returns via the web requires as little as two
clicks of the mouse, compared to seven previously.
This is because the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS)
has created a much neater layout with just two main forms to check
and fill out.
Taxpayers can also expect a new feature this time round.
All relief claims such as for children and foreign maid levies will
be pre-filled and listed clearly.
This year, 1.37 million people are required to submit their
returns.
IRAS is targeting at least 80 percent to e-file via the internet or
telephone.
Those filing their returns manually must do so by April 15, while
those who e-file have up to April 18. - CNA/de
