Closure of e-filing system for years of assessment 2008 & 2009

Please be informed that the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) has informed the Institute on 2 October that

(i)         The e-filing of forms e-E, e-B, e-BE, e-M, e-P, e-C, and e-R for the year of assessment (YA) 2008 will be closed from 8 October 2009 permanently.

(ii)        The e-filing of forms e-C, e-R and e-CP 204 for the YA 2009 will be temporarily closed from 9 October 2009 till 22 October 2009 (14 days) for maintenance.

CTIM has requested the IRB to defer the “closure” (in (ii) above) to November to allow companies with financial year ended 31March 2009 to do their filing (Form e-C).  However, the IRB has informed the Institute that, due to time constraint (the Budget date, 23 October, being later than usual) and the fact that the system is operating at full capacity, the system has to be shut down for maintenance to prepare for the proposals for the 2010 Budget.  Otherwise, it will too late for the IRB to work on the 2010 Budget amendments.
