Tax is assessed on income earned in the preceding financial year. For example, a tax return for the Year of Assessment (YA) 2022 would be to declare the income earned during the financial year 2021. This tax return must be submitted by the 30th of November 2022 or e-filed by the 15th of December 2021.

There are several types of accounting services in Singapore. Some of the common ones are tax preparation and consultation, along with tracking expenses and revenues. Apart from this, record-keeping services include billing, taxes, bank reconciliations, general ledger and payroll records. Some bookkeepers also generate financial statements for review.

When it comes to outsourcing, you need to look for an accounting services provider in Singapore. They usually offer accounts receivables and payables management, bookkeeping, financial statements and reporting, controller services, financial planning and analysis, cost accounting, forensic accounting and tax reporting and filing.

Additionally, small business entrepreneurs or new foreign investors may require specific accounting services in Singapore. These include GST calculations and the conversion of financial statements to XBRL (extensible business language) format. Generally, most companies incorporated in Singapore and branches of foreign companies (apart from exempt companies) are mandated to prepare annual financial accounts and company financial reports according to the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (SFRS). If you aren’t familiar with these regulations, it’s best to outsource an accounting service to guide you.

Since the year 2011, the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) has established the Financial Reporting Surveillance Programme (FRSP). With this, a selected pool of your company’s financial statements is reviewed to determine if they comply with the SFRS. It is important to note that Singapore is moving towards adopting the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Accordingly, the preparation of the financial accounts in XBRL format is challenging for those unfamiliar with filing. In this case, it is best to consult a qualified professional from an experienced accounting firm.

Our pricing is revenue-based. We don’t charge on the number of transactions in your account or the number of invoices you upload. All prices are based on the financial year, not the calendar one.

No worries! We'll adjust your accounting plan to match your actual revenue — either by sending you an invoice for the pro-rated package or crediting the amount back to your account.
