Creating IRAS Electronic Files

This topic provides details about the pages used to create IRAS electronic files.

You can produce files in the format that Singapore IRAS requires for electronic reporting of employees' payments and benefits, and processes enable you to create the files in the format that the CPF/IRAS Line system requires. CPF/IRAS Line is an electronic service that is jointly provided by the CPF Board and IRAS. With this service, employers in Singapore can electronically submit salary information in Form IR8A, Appendix 8A, 8B and Form IR8S to IRAS. Paper copies of these forms are therefore unnecessary (although you may print the paper copies if necessary).

If you are creating an amendment record, select the form type as ‘Amendment’ before running the process.
