CFO Group • Sep 05, 2024

Navigating the intricate landscape of annual compliance is crucial for the smooth operation of businesses in Singapore. Our expert annual compliance services ensure that your company adheres to all statutory requirements under the Companies Act, helping you focus on growth and success. The corporate regulatory authority, ACRA, plays a vital role in ensuring businesses meet these compliance requirements.

Annual Compliance Requirements

Understanding and meeting annual compliance requirements is mandatory for all companies in Singapore. Compliance is vital to avoid penalties and fines, ensuring your business operates within the legal framework. Our comprehensive services guide you through every compliance requirement, providing peace of mind.

Annual Filing Requirements
(AR, ECI, Form C or Form C-S)

All Singapore companies must file annual filings, including estimated chargeable income and annual returns with ACRA and IRAS. Income tax is also a crucial part of these annual filing requirements, ensuring compliance with corporate tax filing deadlines and standards.

Companies are also required to hold an annual general meeting to discuss financial statements and compliance matters. Annual filing requirements include submitting financial statements and other documents. Companies must ensure timely filing to avoid penalties and fines.

But before diving into the Singaporean corporate waters, it’s essential to navigate the local business landscape with finesse. From identifying the business structure to understanding the local regulations and compliance, setting up a company in Singapore requires a strategic approach. 

Let’s delve into these critical first steps, which are paramount to laying a solid foundation for your business.

Importance of Compliance

Compliance with Singapore laws is not just a legal obligation but also a strategic necessity for any business. Proper compliance helps companies avoid costly penalties and fines from compliance issues. Moreover, it enhances the company's reputation and builds trust with stakeholders. Our services ensure that all statutory obligations are met with precision and timeliness.

A corporate secretary plays a crucial role in maintaining statutory compliance, ensuring that all corporate governance matters are handled efficiently and effectively.

Financial Reporting and Statements

Preparation of Financial Statements

Financial statements compile detailed financial reports, including profit and loss reports, balance sheets, and compliance notes. These statements are tabled at the Annual General Meeting. Financial statements can be unaudited or audited, depending on company size and compliance requirements.

XBRL Submission

Singapore-incorporated companies must file financial statements (FS) with ACRA, except those exempted. Companies that are sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability partnerships, or limited partnerships are required to file FS with ACRA. Some companies must file a complete set of FS in XBRL format, while others must file critical financial data in XBRL format.

Compliance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards

Compliance in accounting ensures adherence to Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (International) and relevant regulations and legislation.

Corporate Tax and Accounting

Corporate Tax Filing

Singapore companies must file corporate taxes annually. The Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) plays a crucial role in ensuring compliance with corporate tax filing regulations. Taxes are based on the net profit of the business and are filed 1 year after the FYE. The Year of Assessment (YA) is the basis for corporate tax filing in Singapore.
