  • There will be differences between the Net Tax Assessed (NTA) and the Tax Collection published on data.gov.sg. NTA is the net tax assessed to be payable or repayable by an entity after taking into account allowable tax credits, tax remission, tax rebates and tax deducted at source, for a specific tax period. This might be different from the amount of tax collected as the taxes could be collected or refunded across different Financial Years (FY) due to taxpayers paying their taxes via GIRO instalments or having their past years’ assessments reviewed.
