Employer’s Return of Remuneration and Pensions (Form BIR56A) for the year ended 31 March 2024 were issued on 2 April. Employers are required to complete and file the return to the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) within one month together with the Form IR56B for reporting of remuneration paid to the employees. Employers can file the employer’s returns online by using "iAM Smart+" or eTAX account. The IR56 Forms Preparation Tool can be used to prepare the data file of annual Form IR56B for uploading to the IRD via the Online Mode or the Mixed Mode. Employers adopting Mixed Mode submission, after uploading of data file(s), are only required to submit the duly signed paper form BIR56A and the cover page (i.e. the first page) of the Control List generated from the system to complete the submission process. In addition, to tie in with employers in preparing early for the submission, the IR56 Forms Preparation Tool can be used to prepare the data file of annual IR56B starting from 1 March each year.
