How to submit employment income records to IRAS electronically

  1. Swingvy doesn’t support the IR8S form, Appendix 8A, and Appendix 8B.
  2. Please exclude those employees that have Benefits-in-Kind or Employee Stock Option from Swingvy's AIS submission and do a manual submission to IRAS via myTax Portal for both IR8A & Appendix 8A for them instead.

It is compulsory for companies with 5 and above employees to apply for Auto Inclusion Scheme (AIS) under IRAS. For a company that has less than 4 employees, it is also encouraged to join AIS too for easier tax processing. 

Note:
1. You do not need to import your past payroll data for IR8A.
2. When the form is generated, editing is possible.
3. Forms are generated once during submission.
