Key questions regarding Singapore payroll processing
What are the statutory monthly deadlines for CPF contributions?
Under the CPF Act, employers must pay mandatory CPF contributions by the last day of the calendar month. The grace period extends until the 14th day of the following month (or the next working day if the 14th falls on a weekend or public holiday). Zen Corp submits calculations well before the deadline to prevent late payment interest charges.
What is the IR8A Auto-Inclusion Scheme (AIS)?
Under the AIS, employers submit their employees' employment income information to IRAS electronically. The submitted employment income information is then pre-filled in the employees' electronic tax returns. Zen Corp compiles your annual payroll data and submits IR8A forms directly to IRAS prior to the March 1st deadline.
Where is corporate taxation handled if not under payroll?
Corporate taxation (Estimated Chargeable Income ECI, Form C-S / Form C, and quarterly GST returns) is handled under our Compliances & Taxation division by our SIATP accredited tax professionals. Payroll Processing specifically manages monthly employee compensation, statutory deductions (CPF/SDL), and employee IR8A reporting.
