IRAS' Collection By Tax Type

Updated 8 months ago

IRAS (Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore)

Property tax collection was higher in FY2011/12 due to the cessation of the Property Tax Deferral for Land Approved for Development on 21 January 2011 which resulted in the deferred property tax being collected in FY2011/12.
Betting Taxes include Betting Duty, Private Lotteries Duty and Casino Tax (with effect from March 2010).
Estate Duty has been removed for deaths occuring on or after 15 February 2008.
