What the account summary shows
The August 2024 guide explains the account-summary screen shown after signing in to myTax Portal. It brings together tax types with outstanding balances, so the first step is to identify the relevant tax account rather than treating every balance as a single liability. Open the detail view for the tax type you want to investigate.
Reviewing transactions and downloading a statement
The detail screen provides financial transactions for the current year and the preceding four years. Review the relevant period, then use the statement-download function to obtain a PDF Statement of Account. This gives you a record that can be kept with the tax account information; the guide does not describe access to a longer transaction history.
Existing and new GIRO arrangements
If an active GIRO arrangement exists, the account-summary screen offers a route to its plan details. The transaction-detail screen also provides a GIRO application route for tax payments. Reviewing an existing payment plan and applying for a new arrangement are separate actions; downloading a statement itself does not create a GIRO instruction.
Scope and document date
IRAS published this four-page user guide in August 2024. It is an explanation of the portal workflow at that date, rather than a comprehensive account of all tax-payment issues. The source PDF remains available for the original screen illustrations.
