I had lived in Singapore for over a decade as working professional on an Employment Pass. I exited SG in December Last year. I had paid my due taxes before exiting and ensured that tax balances showed zero in my IRAS profile (I had also printed it out just in case).
Today I recieved an SMS from IRAS (legit): "you need to file your 2023 tax return this year. this is a reminder to file by 18 Apr at IRAS myTax portal. you may be fined up to $5,000 if you file late".
I obviously wanted to double check my profile again on IRAS myTax portal but to my surprise, my SingPass no longer works phone app / web login. resetting password / retrieving credentials is not an option as it requires "date of application" which i dont have.
Question:
- Is this something to be concerned about?
- is it a norm that SingPass gets disabled when you exit Singapore? is paying your taxes a factor when they disable it?
Thank you
