Key requirements
Reporting Singapore financial institutions must register, perform due diligence and submit annual information. Singapore has exchanged CRS data since September 2018, while exchanges under amended CRS are expected in 2028. IRAS records August 2026 regulatory and guide updates. Separately, all XML new, nil, correction and deletion returns move to schema version 3.0 from 1 January 2027; before that date the stated version 2.0 remains applicable. A future exchange commencement and a submission-format change are different milestones. Review entity classification, reportable jurisdictions, TIN data and system readiness against the current detailed guide rather than applying archived year lists.
