Select YA and identify status
Choose Corporate Tax > Submit Document and the YA. Pending means not uploaded, Pending Approval means awaiting approver, Processing means transmission, Received means IRAS submission, and Received (ACRA) means XBRL financial statements submitted to ACRA. The legend also explains document abbreviations. ACRA receipt and preparer approval are distinct from IRAS receipt.
Upload appropriate documents
Select File/Open and observe the displayed acceptable types/maximum sizes. Remove and reselect mistakes, checking the filename. Do not attach unlisted documents: retain them unless requested. Revised computations not concerning current-year capital-allowance/loss carry-back and income not previously reported go via Revise/Object to Assessment according to the source, rather than indiscriminate use of this upload page.
Preparer-to-approver route and historic retention
A Preparer submits only to Approver and confirms Yes; status becomes Pending Approval with date. In this 1 September 2018 guide documents remain until the extended 15 December filing due date or 21 days from submission, whichever is later. That historic due date must not be portrayed as the current annual filing deadline. Approvers can view only after scanning; an in-progress message asks retry after 30 minutes.
Final receipt and leaving the page
Approver opens the hyperlink, removes/replaces if needed or ticks Document approved for submission, then clicks Submit to IRAS. Only that click sends approved files. The bottom status table shows Received, date and acknowledgement number. Leaving after selection without Submit to IRAS/Approver triggers a warning and no processing. Enquiries are 1800 356 8622 or myTax Mail; retain the 2018 edition identity.
