Tax & Compliance
Timely. Efficient. Reliable.
IRAS, ACRA, GST, XBRL — four acronyms you should never have to think about. We handle the returns, the filings and the deadlines so you can stay focused on the business.
What we do
Compliance, off your desk.
Tax compliance
Corporate income tax computations and returns (Form C-S/C), Estimated Chargeable Income, GST returns, responses to IRAS queries, and tax planning that keeps you on the right side of the line while claiming everything you're entitled to. Singapore's headline corporate rate is 17% — but reliefs, rebates and exemptions mean few SMEs should actually pay that on every dollar.
Compilation & XBRL
Unaudited financial statements compiled under Singapore Financial Reporting Standards, converted to XBRL for ACRA filing. Companies with revenue of S$500,000 or more file full XBRL; smaller companies file a simplified set — we prepare whichever applies, correctly, the first time.
Corporate secretarial — by referral
We no longer provide corporate secretarial services in-house, and we won't pretend to sit in the middle of it either. What we can do is point you to providers we're comfortable working with. Your Annual Return is still due within 7 months of financial year end — miss it and penalties start at S$300 and escalate to director prosecution — so pick a good one. We know a few.

Your filing deadlines, calculated
Non-listed companies. AGMs can be exempted or dispensed with; dormant companies still file. A general guide, not professional advice.
Questions we hear every week
What are my company's annual filing deadlines?
For a non-listed company: AGM within 6 months of financial year end (unless exempted or dispensed with), Annual Return to ACRA within 7 months, ECI to IRAS within 3 months, and the corporate tax return by 30 November.
Do I need to file in XBRL?
If your company files financial statements with ACRA, generally yes: full XBRL at revenue of S$500,000 and above, simplified below. Solvent exempt private companies usually don't need to file financial statements at all. Details in our ACRA filing guide.
What if I've already missed a deadline?
Move fast: late-lodgement penalties are S$300 within the first 3 months and S$600 after, and repeat breaches invite prosecution. We can bring backlogged filings current and track every deadline going forward so it doesn't recur.
When do I have to register for GST?
When taxable turnover exceeds S$1 million in a 12-month period, or is expected to in the next 12 months. GST is currently 9%. Voluntary registration can make sense if your customers are GST-registered businesses — ask us to run the numbers.
