How to submit Appendix 8A/8B via IRAS (myTax Portal)

If you are AIS registered, you can submit your employees' employment records to IRAS via Swingvy > Payroll > Year-end Tax. However, it is important to note that Appendix 8A/8B isn't currently supported on Swingvy so you'll need to exclude employees with BIK or Share Option Gains when you create the tax filing in Swingvy and submit their IR8A & Appendix 8A/8B directly on myTax Portal.

 

Below is a guide on the steps needed - this is split up into two parts:

Part 1: Generate the IR8A data

Step 1 - Navigate to Payroll > Year-end tax and click "Create tax file" button

Step 2 - Select only the employees who require Appendix 8A (BIK) or Appendix 8B (Share Option Gains)

Step 3 - Review the IR8A form details and apply any necessary changes to correct income data.

Step 4 - Click "Download xlsx" button located in the header

Note: This batch is for Excel file generation only. Do not attempt to submit these employees to IRAS via Swingvy; Submissions requiring BIK or Stock Option reporting will fail validation.

 

Part 2: Input Appendix data in Excel and upload it to myTax Portal

Step 1 - Enter the relevant data for your employees in Appendix sheets and save the change.
