📢 Do Employees Need to File a Tax Return?
If your only income is from wages or salary, in most cases you do not need to file a tax return yourself.
IRD will complete an Auto-Assessment for you automatically. Simply wait for the assessment to appear in your myIR account.
However, you may need to file a tax return if you also receive income from:
✅ Self-employment
(Sole Trader)
✅ Rental Property Income
✅ Overseas Income
✅ Uber, DoorDash, or Other Platforms
