If you want to learn how to file IR8A for the first time, read this helpful article instead! However, if you want to amend your submitted IR8A form, you’ve come to the right place. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about amending your IR8A forms, ensuring you stay compliant and stress-free.

Why Amendments Happen

Mistakes and changes are inevitable in payroll reporting. Common reasons for IR8A amendments include:

• Correcting employee income details
• Updating compensation information
• Rectifying previous reporting errors
• Incorporating last-minute salary adjustments
• Reflecting changes in employee benefits

Key Considerations for IR8A Amendments

One of the most relieving aspects of IR8A submissions is IRAS’s flexibility. There are no strict limitations on the number of amendments you can make. However, proceed with caution:

• Multiple amendments may increase processing time
• Each amendment should be thoroughly verified
• Frequent changes could potentially flag your submission for additional review

Filing and amending IR8A is a taxing experience that will never be a simple responsibility. There are numbers to take into account, percentages to calculate, and past records to refer to for each employee. We’ve experienced the frustration of the manual tax filing process. That is why we designed our 1-click IR8A submission function to now make amendments and the refiling process easy.

Just make sure you edit and resubmit the form by 31 March!

With the deadline in mind, here’s some information you might find useful for IR8A amendment submission.
