Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) requires Singapore employers to report their employee incomes in IR8A forms at year end. In order for Dayforce to track these earnings, each earning is mapped to an IR8A income category in Payroll Setup > Earnings and Deductions.
Before You Begin: Make sure you are familiar with how earnings are set up in Payroll Setup > Earnings and Deductions.
Role feature access: Payroll Setup > Payroll Setup > Earnings and Deductions and its sub-features
To map an earning to an IR8A income category:
- Go to Payroll Setup > Earnings and Deductions, click the Earnings tab, and select an existing earning or add a new earning.
- Click the Options tab, and select the IR8A income category you want to map to this earning in the IR8A Reporting Section field. For example, to map gross commission earnings, select Gross Commission. Earnings that share the same IR8A income category are added together and the total sum is reported in the IR8A form.
- Click Save.
