On-time corporate tax filing for 2024 reaches record 90.4%, IRAS says

IRAS prosecuted 4,500 firms ahead of the 30 November filing deadline.

The Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) achieved a record 90.4% on-time corporate income tax filing rate for the Year of Assessment (YA) 2024, up from 88.9% in the previous year.

The increase reflects about 14,000 additional companies meeting the filing deadline. Around 300,000 companies, including 37,000 newly incorporated entities, are required to file their YA 2025 corporate income tax returns by 30 November.

Since January, IRAS has taken enforcement action against nearly 4,500 companies for late or non-filing, collecting $3.4m in penalties. Offending companies may face fines of up to $5,000, daily penalties of $100, or court-ordered payments twice the tax assessed for prolonged non-compliance.

Companies are advised to complete submissions ahead of the 30 November deadline to avoid enforcement action.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
