IRAS volunteer e-Filing Service
Last Update - 23/02/2010
The Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) is inviting ICPAS members to participate in IRAS’ Volunteer e-Filing Service (VES) 2010. VES is a community service that helps to bring greater convenience of e-Filing of Income Tax to the doorstep of taxpayers and also to help the less IT-savvy taxpayers e-File.
VES offers a good opportunity to promote the spirit of volunteerism amongst professionals, and allows them to gain new experiences while helping taxpayers to e-File during the tax-filing period.
VES will be available at 23 CitizenConnect centres between 27 Mar to 18 Apr 2010 (every Sat and Sun, 2pm-6pm). The role of the volunteers is to guide taxpayers in navigating the e-Filing website, help them complete the filing and assist the managers at the VES centres. The volunteers will not be made liable for the declarations made by the taxpayers. IRAS will also conduct a 2-hour e-Filing training to prepare the volunteers for the service.
This year, IRAS is also using Facebook to keep volunteers informed of the various volunteering sessions they can sign up for, as well as provide timely updates on matters relating to tax filing.
In appreciation of the effort and time spent by the volunteers, a certificate of appreciation will be presented to them. All volunteers will also stand a chance to be nominated for the Outstanding e-Filing Volunteer Awards or the Commendation Awards. They will also be invited to the Appreciation Ceremony to be held tentatively in June 2010.
For more information on VES and on how to signup, visit the IRAS website at www.iras.gov.sg/irasHome/ves2010.aspx.
