I retired in March 2025 this year and have no income since then. However, I received a notification to file for the Year of Assessment 2025. What should I do?

Question

Accepted Answer

Income tax is assessed on a preceding calendar year basis. The notification to file for the Year of Assessment (YA) 2025 is for you to file for the income earned by you in 2024. You will be required to file an income tax return for YA 2025 if you have received a letter, form or SMS from IRAS informing you to do so.
