Submit Singapore Year-End Files to IRAS

After generating the year-end text files, you can electronically submit these files to IRAS in the IRAS AIS e-Submission tab in Year End > Singapore Year End. Dayforce submits the data using the IRAS API.

Before You Begin:  

Role feature access: Year End > Singapore Year End > IRAS AIS e-Submission

To submit the year-end files electronically:

  1. Go to Year End > Singapore Year End.
  2. In the IRAS AIS e-Submission tab, check the year. If you're working on a previous year end, select that year in Year.
  3. Select the legal entity for which you’re submitting the files.
  4. Click Process Job and then IRAS API Submissions.
  5. Generate the JSON file package for submission. For each file type, complete the following steps:
    1. In File Type, select Year End for IR8A, Appendix 8A, and Appendix 8B forms.
    2. Select the report type:
      • Original: Indicates data that is submitted to the IRAS for the financial year for the first time.
