Summary

Generally, you will need to file the Form IR21 at least one month before when your non-Singapore Citizen employee (i.e. foreign or Singapore Permanent Resident employee):

  • ceases employment with you in Singapore

  • goes on an overseas posting

  • plans to leave Singapore for more than three months

As an employer, you have the responsibility to file the Form IR21 and withhold all monies due to the employee for tax clearance purposes. This applies to all work pass holders including Personalised Employment Pass (PEP) holders.

*Note* There is no integrated submission for IR21. This feature is to pull out all relevant information that you require for filing of IR21.

  1. Go to Payroll > Tax Filing and click on Create New IR21

  2. Select the employee, year & form type, then click Submit

  3. Click on OK to redirect
