The Inland Revenue Department (IRD) today launched three new tax portals under eTAX - Individual Tax Portal, Business Tax Portal and Tax Representative Portal - to provide electronic tax services to individuals, businesses, and tax service agents respectively, enabling them to handle tax matters conveniently and efficiently.

The Individual Tax Portal offers a centralised platform for individual users to manage their personal tax matters, providing functions such as tax return filing, personal particulars updates and viewing of tax positions. They may also use the portal on their mobile devices via the "eTAX" app, also launched today by the IRD.

The Business Tax Portal is specifically designed for businesses to handle tax matters and compliance obligations electronically, including tax return filing and business registration.

As for the Tax Representative Portal, it caters to tax service agents (tax representatives, company secretaries and other tax service providers) to facilitate the management of their clients' tax matters, including tax return filing and compliance tracking.

The IRD explained that profiles of existing eTAX users have been migrated to the Individual Tax Portal, and they can use their registered information to log in to the portal.

The department encourages businesses and service agents to open an eTAX account as early as possible to handle tax matters electronically via the other two portals in a safe, convenient and environmentally friendly way.
