Under the Auto-Inclusion Scheme (AIS) for Employment Income, employers submit their employees’ employment income information electronically to IRAS. The submitted information is then auto-included in employees’ income tax returns.
AIS participation is compulsory for employers with 5 or more employees, as well as employers that have received a notice from IRAS requiring electronic filing.
AIS employers must submit employment income information electronically by 1 March each year. Using payroll software with AIS API integration allows payroll data to flow directly into the submission process instead of being manually re-entered.
