Otherwise, the NOA cannot be revised. If sole proprietors or businesses fail to pay the late fee or file their GST returns online, they may be summoned to court.<\/p>\n<p>Companies will still have to file all outstanding GST returns. In case they fail to do so, further prosecution actions will be taken against them. If they are unable to file timely GST returns, pay summons fees at least a week before the court date, or attend the court hearing, they may face even more serious consequences such as being issued with an arrest warrant.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Penalty Amount for Late GST Submission<\/h2>\n<p>Businesses that fail to file their GST returns before the due date must pay a <strong>$200<\/strong> late submission fee. It is best to settle this amount promptly, as an additional $200 will be added for every additional month as the GST filing remains outstanding. The penalty can keep increasing until the maximum limit for outstanding return of $10,000 is reached.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4890 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/timcole.com.sg\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/icon-wallet-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/timcole.com.sg\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/icon-wallet-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/timcole.com.sg\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/icon-wallet-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/timcole.com.sg\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/icon-wallet-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><strong>Avoid paying fines by planning your corporate tax properly.<\/strong> Check out these helpful guides:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/overview-of-singapore-taxation\/\">Overview of Singapore taxation<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/effective-tax-planning-for-companies-operating-in-singapore\/\">Effective tax planning for companies operating in Singapore<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/tax-planning-for-companies-in-singapore\/\">Tax planning for companies in Singapore<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Filing Outstanding Documents<\/h2>\n<p>Companies can simply use their IRAS pin or SingPass on the <a href=\"https:\/\/mytax.iras.gov.sg\/ESVWeb\/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">myTax Portal<\/a> on the IRAS website to view any current or past GST accounting periods.
