What Happens if You Miss Your Tax Filing Deadline?
We get it — tax deadlines can feel overwhelming.
But missing them in Singapore isn’t just a slap on the wrist —
it can hit your company hard.
Here’s what you risk if you’re late.
1️⃣ IRAS Late Filing Penalties
✅ Initial late fee: S$200–S$1,000
✅ Additional 5% penalty on unpaid tax
✅ Extra 1% per month (up to 12%) if still unpaid
These penalties snowball fast.
2️⃣ Summons to Court
If you ignore reminders, IRAS may issue a summons to court.
This can result in:
✅ Court fines
✅ A criminal record for the company or directors
Definitely not worth the risk.
3️⃣ Impact on Your Company
✅ Hurts your company’s compliance record
✅ Jeopardizes future financing or government grants
✅ Adds unnecessary legal and administrative headaches
Late filing shows poor governance — and investors take notice.
