Prepare and Compute ECI (Estimated Chargeable Income)
Prepare Tax Submission and Filing to IRAS
Get In Touch
In Singapore, businesses must file their ECI (Estimated Chargeable Income) with IRAS (Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore) within 3 months of the end of their financial year. The ECI statement must accurately reflect the company's main source of income. However, certain companies can get waiver from ECI filing.
Upon submitting the ECI form, companies will receive a Notice of Assessment (NOA), indicating the amount of tax owed. This amount must be paid within one month from the date listed on the NOA. Starting in 2020, all companies are required to e-file their corporate tax returns as per government regulations, though they have the option to e-file or paper-file their ECI statement.
It is important for businesses to determine their ECI filing requirements and eligibility for ECI filing waiver.

Frequently Asked Questions About Corporate Tax
In Singapore, businesses benefit from a fixed corporate tax rate set at 17%. Moreover, the start-up tax exemption scheme offers newly established companies the opportunity to enjoy exemptions on their taxable profits during the initial three years of operation.
The final deadline for submitting Singapore corporate income tax is November 30th. Tax returns are based on the previous financial year, meaning you file for the previous fiscal year's end. For instance, the filing deadline for Singapore corporate income tax Form C/Cs, for the financial year ended 30.06.2023 (Year of Assessment 2024), is November 30, 2024. Yet, please be aware that submission deadlines could change as per IRAS regulations. Hence, consulting with your tax agent is advisable.
