This requires careful internal scheduling to avoid missing either deadline.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">Entity-Specific Diarisation: The staggered start and end dates create a complex compliance calendar. Firms managing multiple entity types must track each client&#8217;s applicable windows precisely to prevent forfeiture of the cash payout.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">Digital Process Assurance: All applications are mandated through the IRAS digital service. Practitioners should ensure readiness with Corppass access and requisite documentation for digital submission.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">Failure to adhere to the precondition or the final deadlines will result in the forfeiture of the cash payout entitlement for YA 2026.
