4) Next, you’ll have to go through a few steps of checking and verification before you should make your IR8A submission to IRAS.

Firstly, click on “Edit Employer info for 2023” to verify employer information showing in IR8A forms (Step 1). You will need to ensure the employer information to be accurate as this will be displayed on every employee’s IR8A form and it is a requirement for digital submission.

When you are viewing each employee’s IR8A form, double check the details. If you have made changes, click on “Save”.
