Annual Compliance Requirements for Singapore Companies

All Singapore companies are required to meet mandatory annual compliance obligations outlined in the Companies Act to ensure legal adherence. This guide streamlines compliance for private companies and focuses solely on the essential requirements. Since each business is unique, additional obligations may arise based on its activities, which are typically managed by the company secretary or legal professionals.

Compliance with Two Key Government Bodies

Singapore companies must comply with the requirements of two main regulatory authorities:

ACRA Compliance

ACRA's requirements mainly focus on corporate administrative matters. They are typically managed by company secretary.

Ongoing mandatory compliance:

  • Appointment of Company Secretary
  • Filing of Annual Returns
  • Filing of AGM (annual general meeting), if applicable
  • Filing of audited financial statements, if applicable

IRAS Compliance

IRAS compliance focuses on tax obligations, which are typically managed by accountants or tax agents.

Ongoing mandatory compliance:

  • Filing of Estimated Chargeable Income (ECI)
  • Submission of tax returns (Form C/Form C-S)
