About 28,000 private-hire car drivers in Singapore will have their tax assessments revised after Grab submitted incomplete income records to the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS).
In a statement to AsiaOne, IRAS said Grab informed the tax authority at the end of July that it had submitted incomplete income records for drivers who had opted into IRAS' pre-filing of income initiative for the Year of Assessment 2026.
As a result, the affected drivers' income was understated for assessing income tax.
IRAS said it has since received the corrected records from Grab and is revising the affected Notices of Assessment (NOAs).
"Around 16,000 taxpayers will see an increase in their tax payable. For the majority, the additional tax payable is less than $100," said IRAS, adding that the actual amount will vary depending on each individual's relief entitlements and income tax bracket.
The tax authority also said that affected taxpayers do not need to take any action, with most set to receive their revised NOAs by the end of September.
"Taxpayers on GIRO instalment plans will have their instalment plans adjusted automatically. Those who are not on GIRO instalment plans should make payment by the due date stated in their revised NOA," it said.
Responding to queries from AsiaOne, a spokesperson for Grab said it had informed IRAS of a data submission error affecting about 28,000 driver-partners, and had since been working with the tax authority to review the submission process.
The spokesperson said Grab had notified all affected driver-partners that they would receive their revised NOAs directly from IRAS starting this month.
"We sincerely apologise to all impacted driver-partners for this issue and any inconvenience caused," Grab said, adding that it had also put in place additional safeguards to reduce the risk of similar errors occurring in the future.

由于 Grab 向新加坡税务局 (IRAS) 提交了不完整的收入记录，新加坡约 28,000 名私召车司机的税务评估将被修改。
新加坡税务局在向 AsiaOne 发表的声明中表示，Grab 在 7 月底通知税务局，该公司提交的司机收入记录不完整，这些司机选择参加税务局 2026 课税年度的收入预申报计划。
因此，受影响司机的收入在评估所得税时被低估了。
新加坡税务局表示，他们已经收到 Grab 提供的更正记录，并正在修订受影响的评估通知书 (NOA)。
新加坡税务局表示：“约有16000名纳税人将面临应缴税款增加的情况。对大多数人来说，额外应缴税款不到100美元。”税务局补充说，实际金额将根据每个人的减免资格和所得税等级而有所不同。
税务部门还表示，受影响的纳税人无需采取任何行动，大多数纳税人将在 9 月底前收到修订后的税务局通知书。
“采用GIRO分期付款计划的纳税人，其分期付款计划将自动调整。未采用GIRO分期付款计划的纳税人，应在修订后的NOA（缴款通知书）中规定的到期日之前付款。”声明中写道。
针对 AsiaOne 的询问，Grab 的一位发言人表示，该公司已将影响约 28,000 名司机合作伙伴的数据提交错误告知新加坡税务局 (IRAS)，并一直在与税务部门合作审查提交流程。
发言人表示，Grab 已通知所有受影响的司机合作伙伴，他们将从本月开始直接从新加坡税务局 (IRAS) 收到修订后的 NOA（税务局批准通知书）。
Grab表示：“对于此次事件给所有受影响的司机伙伴带来的不便，我们深表歉意。”该公司还补充说，已采取额外的保障措施，以降低未来发生类似错误的风险。
