How to amend submitted IR8A forms via AIS

Amendment of Appendix 8A and Appendix 8B are not supported in Swingvy. If the amendment for the appendices (Appendix 8A/8B) affects the figures submitted for Form IR8A, an IR8A amendment file must be submitted as well via myTax Portal.

If you have already submitted the IR8A form with benefits-in-kind amounts, learn how to amend it here.

Amend IR8A and submit directly to IRAS under Auto-Inclusion Scheme (AIS)

You have already submitted IR8A and realize you have made a mistake or missed certain items to fill in for employee(s)?

Worry not, amending the IR8A forms is easy on Swingvy. Here is a step-by-step guide on how you can make the amendment.

Step 1 - Head over to Payroll > Year-end tax

Step 2 - Click on 'Modify submitted file'

Step 3 - Choose revision method between Revision and Amendment

Revision - To override previously reported employee records (Recommended)
Amendment - To report income/deductions differences to previously reported employee records

Step 4 - Choose the employee(s) to revise details for.

Step 5 - Revise the needed details

Note:

Only those included in the Original tax file in 'Submitted' status will appear on the employee list.
The original file can be submitted only once per employee, but the Amendment/Revision file can be submitted multiple times, and all amendment/revision records will be accumulated.
The employee's personal particulars (e.g. address, date of birth, name of fund) cannot be edited during amendment. To correct this info, email the correct details through myTaxMail. (Select Businesses > Employers > Auto-Inclusion Scheme (AIS))
Learn more in the amendment guide.

If you chose Revision method,

Initial values are retrieved from the previously submitted file.
Enter the full and correct amounts for all required fields.

If you chose Amendment method,

Prepare and submit only the difference in the amount(s) between the income reported to IRAS and the actual income the affected employee(s) earned.
Enter a negative amount if you have over-declared in the original file.
Leave all other numeric fields not affected by the error, blank.

Examples for amendment method:

Under declared

Actual Salary = $28,000
Submitted Salary (under declared) = $24,000
Difference = $4,000

You should submit:
1 Amendment Record with the amount at Salary field = $4,000

Over declared

Actual Bonus = $5,000
Submitted Salary (over declared) = $8,000
Difference = -$3,000

You should submit:
1 Amendment Record with the amount at Bonus field = $-3,000
