[Former Member]

What is difference between the 2 forms. As per my knowledge both are the same. then why 2 different forms?

In what scenarios we should use IR8E.

IR8E is an internal version of IR8A which is for employee themselves to check.

The content of IR8E is basically the same as IR8A instead of their title.

Thanks Pratyush and devi for your replies.

Devi, when you say e-submission that means the emloyer is using e-submission as ouptput option then use IR8E.

When output option is IRAS line then we use IR8A..

Is my understanding correct?

Hi,

One more query. When we use IR8E, the appendix for BIK will still be 8A?

Hi,

IR8A: The IR8A is a "Return of Employee's Remuneration." It is provided to employee's by their employer and supplies the information necessary to complete the employee's income tax return.

IR8E, IR8A and IR8S issued by the employer relating to employee income for the preceding year

Form IR21 -Tax Clearance for Foreign Employees: An employer is required to complete Form IR21 (Notification of A Non-Citizen Employee's Cessation of Employment or Departure from Singapore), when seeking tax clearance for the non-citizen employee.

For more information:

An employee in the Civil Service or Statutory Board can obtain his IR8E from PacGov.
