⚠️ Resigning a director? Don’t assume an ACRA filing removes their bank access. Many companies find payroll, cards or online approvals still route through the departed director.

Use this practical checklist to confirm resignation validity, map every form of financial access, arrange replacement signatories and keep payroll and supplier payments moving during the handover. If a former director is uncooperative, learn how to involve your bank and legal advisers promptly.

Many directors don’t realise Budget reliefs aren’t always automatic — the 50% CIT rebate (YA 2026), the S$2,000 minimum cash grant for active employers, and the expanded AI deduction each carry eligibility tests that affect filings, cash flow and planning. 📌

Check your YA, CPF payroll records and document any AI spend before you rely on these measures. File ECI and Form C-S on time so IRAS applies the relief correctly.
