Q:

If I had five employees starting from 1 April 2020 while only one employee left as on 30 April 2021. Which form should I file, IR56B or IR56F?
|
|
A:
|
It depends. If the employees are still active until 31 March 2021, Form IR56B for the year of assessment 2020/21 should be filed, otherwise an IR56F should be reported.

Q:

Can I print my own Form IR56B using the same format of those issued by the Inland Revenue Department?
|

A:
