APIT is not a filed return

A common misconception

“My HR takes APIT every month, so my taxes are already filed.”

APIT is a deduction, not a filed return. Your annual IIT return is separate, and it’s where unclaimed reliefs, a second job, interest or rent, and any over-deduction get settled. Over-deducted? The return is how you claim it back.

Salaried tax · common questions

Straight answers, current for 2025/2026.

Yes, through APIT (Advance Personal Income Tax), which your employer deducts from your monthly pay and remits to the IRD. APIT is an advance on your Individual Income Tax — you still confirm the year's position in an IIT return, where the APIT already deducted is credited against your final liability.
