New or reinstated arrangement
The 13 May 2026 guide uses Personal Tax login and Singpass app QR or password. Under Account choose Apply/Manage GIRO Plan. To reinstate, select an account in Bank Accounts in Our Record; for a new arrangement select a bank under New Bank Arrangement for GIRO. Select individual income tax and/or property-tax accounts, then monthly or one-time yearly payment. Adjust instalment count with plus/minus and continue.
Extending instalments
Beyond the standard payment cycle, individual income tax may attract penalties and provisional instalment amounts, and property tax may attract penalties. The extended-plan screen requests reasons, with a text explanation for Other, plus confirmation. Review the chosen arrangement and accept the declaration. The guide does not promise that increasing instalments eliminates penalties or provisional tax.
Bank authorisation and status
Reinstatement proceeds to acknowledgement; a new arrangement goes through Leave Page to the selected bank’s internet-banking portal, then returns to myTax Portal. The guide links bank-specific instructions for DBS/POSB, OCBC, UOB, HSBC, Bank of China, Citibank, Maybank, Standard Chartered, MariBank and ICBC. In Progress means bank review, with no further action at that stage; check View GIRO Plan the next business day. Approved-plan notices are also available by the next working day. An acknowledgement may therefore precede approval.
Viewing and changing an existing plan
Under Account select View GIRO Plan, or On GIRO in Tax Matters at a Glance, then View for the chosen plan. Edit Bank Account and the corresponding pop-up button start a bank change; choose an existing recorded account or a new bank. The screenshot notes a bank requiring paper notification with an ink signature. Edit under GIRO Plan Option starts a duration change. Reselect the relevant tax account, payment option and instalments, supplying extended-plan reasons if necessary.
Complete the change or cancel
Review and declare the change. Duration edits go to acknowledgement; bank-account changes follow the bank portal and return, with In Progress checked the next business day. To cancel, use Edit under plan option or bank account and the cancelling hyperlink, review the plan, tick the declaration and Cancel Plan. Successful cancellation produces its own acknowledgement. Cancellation evidence and bank-change review status represent different outcomes.
