What happens when a Singapore company is under IRAS audit or investigation?

IRAS may request records, explanations and interviews. If errors are found, additional tax, penalties (up to 200% of tax undercharged for deliberate evasion) and interest may be imposed. Cooperation and prompt document provision can reduce penalties.
