Employers with local employees are encouraged to make their monthly SDL payments together with their CPF contribution through CPF EZPay.

Employers should only use GoBusiness to make ad-hoc SDL payments or monthly SDL payments when they do not need to make monthly CPF contributions. Please refer to the General SDL FAQ for more details and requirements.

1.) Log in to GoBusiness Dashboard as a Business User, and go to Levy > Skills Development Levy (SDL).

2.) Click the Make Payment / Declaration button to get to the SDL Payment & Declaration form.

3.) Review the Applicant and Company Detail in the General Information page and update contact information, if necessary. Click Next to go to the next page.

4.) In Application Details, select the full month(s) you are making outstanding payment for. For example, if you are making payment for July and August 2022, select 01/07/2022 for Start Date, and 31/08/2022 for End Date.

Click on the Retrieve SDL Records button after selecting the month(s) range.

5.) Subsequent sections will be populated with the relevant periods and SDL records, where available. For the Relevant Period with SSG Records section, you will need to confirm the SDL payable and make a declaration if your records differ. For the Relevant Period Without SSG Records section, you will need to provide your computation before making payment as SSG will not have your records for the last 2 to 3 months.

6.) If your internal records differ from SSG’s SDL records, select “I would like to submit a declaration for relevant period with SSG records” in the declaration section. Thereafter, indicate your own records in the available SDL fields and attach the “Declaration Form” as a supporting document. If your internal records have no discrepancies with SSG’s SDL records, select “I agree with SSG’s records”.

7.) Proceed to make payment either via online payment (stripe/ credit card) through GoBusiness; or offline payment (bank transfer or PayNow) where payment instructions will be communicated separately over email from SSG.

8.) Track your transaction status on SDL Page, under SDL notifications
