Bookkeeping, annual accounts and IRAS filings

Singapore Accounting and Tax Services

Accounting records should be maintained from the first transaction. The annual work then uses those records to prepare financial statements, ECI and the applicable corporate income tax return.

The service scope depends on transaction volume, record quality, GST status, payroll, foreign transactions and whether prior periods need cleanup.

Rules and filing guidance

GST InvoiceNow: check the applicable date

Businesses applying for voluntary GST registration from 1 April 2026 must meet the applicable GST InvoiceNow requirements using an InvoiceNow-Ready solution, regardless of incorporation date or business structure. Emailing a PDF is not InvoiceNow transmission. Other registrants enter in phases through 2031; check the business’s IRAS notification and implementation date. InvoiceNow does not replace GST returns or record keeping.

FAQ

Questions to settle before engagement

When should a new company start bookkeeping?

From the first transaction. Bank movements, sales, expenses, capital and shareholder payments should be supported and recorded.

Is ECI always required?

Some companies may qualify for an ECI filing waiver. The position should be checked against current IRAS conditions and the company’s revenue and ECI.

What is the difference between Form C-S and Form C?

The applicable return depends on the company’s eligibility and tax matters. The accounts and tax computation should be prepared before choosing the form.

Is GST included in standard accounting work?

Not automatically. GST registration, return preparation and transaction review should be confirmed separately.

Can ProSec fix prior-year records?

Prior-period cleanup can be assessed after reviewing the bank statements, filings, accounts and available supporting documents.
