When it comes to dealing with the Singapore tax authorities (Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore) on tax audits and investigations, uncertainties abound and understandably so.

Typical concerns and worries include:
  • How should an unexpected letter of query from IRAS be dealt with?
  • What do you do when the taxman comes knocking on your door? 
  • Why is it that what you have been doing is not enough to keep IRAS away?
  • Where do you go when the unwanted attention gets too much?
Join Accredited Tax Advisor (Income Tax and GST) Mr S Sharma, Consultant at Adsan Law LLC, as he delves into these hot issues, armed with more than 30 years of tax law expertise honed through practical experience in both the public sector and private practice, sharing his insights, views and tips on managing tax audits and investigations. 

Programme Outline

  • Learn about practical insights on dealing with the current tax audit landscape vis-à-vis similar situations in the past.
  • With various enhancements legislated on the powers of the Comptroller, know what it takes to manage tax audits and investigations today.
  • Be familiar with the processes, the law and most importantly your rights, as a taxpayer, in dealing with the IRAS in a tax audit or investigation. 

SCTP reserves the right to vary any aspect of the event/ webinar should the situation warrant or due to unforeseen circumstances. This includes but not limited to the following: cancel the programme, change the venue, speakers, programme dates, fees and CPE hours.
