Amending, Adding to or Withdrawing an IR21 Filing

The route depends on whether you are correcting earlier income, reporting later taxable benefits or cancelling a filing because employment continues.

Source checked · 11 October 2026

Amendments and additional benefits

An amended IR21 supersedes original and amended filings, so report the full corrected income details and revised withheld amount. For post-cessation benefits taxed in a later payment year, use the additional-benefits option and continue withholding the additional payment. Paper additional filings report only additional income and withheld amounts, avoiding repetition. A change only to the withheld-money amount is notified to IRAS by email rather than an amended IR21.

Withdrawal when employment continues

Give IRAS the employee’s tax reference number, the withdrawal reason and confirmation that employment has continued without a break from the cessation or posting date reported. Do not use an amended filing simply to withdraw an unnecessary clearance case.
