QuickHR’s Direct AIS Submission vs. Manual Filing
With the decommissioning of the Offline Application, HR teams still relying on manual uploads may struggle with increased risks of data silos and filing errors.
To ensure a smooth and error-free process, it's strongly encouraged to use payroll software supporting direct Auto-Inclusion Scheme (AIS) submissions to IRAS.
Here's a look at how QuickHR replaces time-consuming manual processes with a seamless, "one-click" submission directly to IRAS, ensuring your organization stays compliant while saving valuable time during the busy tax season.
| Manual Tax Filing | QuickHR’s Direct Tax Filing and Submission via AIS | |
|---|---|---|
| Data Entry | Manual extraction and formatting | Auto-filled from monthly payroll |
| Validation | Manual checking through fragmented systems | Real-time validation with IRAS via API |
| Submission | Multi-step upload to myTax Portal | One-click submission within QuickHR |
| Amendments | Tedious re-submission process | Instant digital amendments |
