Corporate Tax
Every year, companies will be required to file their corporate taxes to the local tax authority, Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS). Corporate tax filings must be completed in November of the following year for all companies, solvent or not.
GST Registration & Filing
It is only mandatory for companies to be registered for GST once the annual revenue hits a million. In other cases, GST registration is optional and must be requrested from IRAS. GST filings are typically done on a quarterly basis.
