Frequently Asked Questions

What are the statutory annual reporting requirements for Singapore companies?

Every company incorporated in Singapore must maintain proper accounting records and submit annual filings to two key regulatory bodies:

ACRA (Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority): Companies must file an Annual Return (including XBRL financial statements, unless exempt) within 5–7 months following their financial year-end.
IRAS (Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore): Companies must declare Estimated Chargeable Income (ECI) within 3 months of their financial year-end and submit corporate income tax returns (Form C / Form C-S / Form C-S Lite) by 30 November annually.

Does my business need an audit in Singapore?

A company qualifies as a "small company" and is exempt from statutory audit requirements if it meets at least 2 out of 3 of the following criteria for the immediate past two consecutive financial years:

Total annual revenue ≤ S$10 million
Total assets ≤ S$10 million
Total number of full-time employees ≤ 50

Even if exempt from statutory audit, companies must still prepare SFRS-compliant financial statements and XBRL filings.

Why should I outsource accounting instead of hiring an in-house accountant?

Outsourcing to a professional firm like Bestar lowers overhead costs (no CPF, bonuses, or software licensing fees), eliminates continuity risks from staff turnover, and gives you direct access to a cross-disciplinary team of chartered accountants, tax experts, and corporate secretaries.
