GIRO arrangement for corporate tax

The number of instalments granted to the company for the current year of assessment depends on the promptness in filing its Estimated Chargeable Income (ECI).

No instalment arrangement will be granted for back year taxes.

Tax payable on first ECI e-Filed within No. of Instalments Given (Notes 1 to 3)
1 month from financial year end 10
2 months from financial year end 8
3 months from financial year end 6
After 3 months from financial year end No instalments allowed

Notes:

1. The instalment plan is subject to a minimum monthly GIRO deduction amount of $50.

2. The first few instalments may be combined and deducted on the first GIRO deduction date, depending on the date of filing of ECI.

3. IRAS may vary the instalment plan for companies that file revised ECIs.

e-File by 26th of each qualifying month to enjoy the maximum number of instalments allowable for each month.
