Amendment of IR8A (Step-by-Step)

Take a look below to help you better understand the IR8A amendment process through Talenox:

1) To start the amendment process, click on "Make amendment" under 'Optional' step in your IR8A page.

2) After you have clicked “Make amendment” in the previous screen, choose the employee(s) that you would like to make the amendment for by checking the box. Once you have made your selection, click on "Continue to make amendment".

3) As you head over to the specific employee’s IR8A to make amendments, you will just need to overwrite the previous value with the new one. To continue, click "View/Edit".

Note: If the amendment is to the employee particulars fields (e.g. birthdate, residential address), the submission will fail and according to IRAS, the amendment file is not required.

More on this can be referred from here.

4) Once you have updated the values, remember to click Save to save your changes.

Amendments can only be submitted after changes are saved in the amendment form directly.

5) Upon saving the changes, select the employee(s) affected on their checkbox, and click "View overall Report" to submit your amendments.

6) Click "Validate IR8A files" to validate the amendments. If there are errors, rectify your amendments and once you have successfully validated the IR8A files, click "Submit AIS with CorpPass" to submit the amendments.

IRAS will take around 1 - 2 weeks to check through the file and get back with an acknowledgement email to the authorised person and contact that is in myTaxPortal. You can also check your status over at myTaxPortal.

If the submission is still not reflected in myTaxPortal, you can contact IRAS directly to clarify. 👍

Have a great tax submission season! 😁
