I submitted my tax return for 2012, I opened an IRAS on line account and back around (probably) end July / beginning August I saw the final tax assessment amount on line.
I then did nothing, just waited for the formal tax invoice to arrive in the post. It didn't and although the money was sitting in the bank waiting to be paid I did nothing. I was lazy.
I still didn't receive any communication by email or post from IRAS but on 28th November my bank advised they were withholding money at the request of the tax office and sure enough when I looked at my account on line it showed as a unavailable funds.
This was my first tax payment so my question is, is this normal? For the tax office to send no letters or invoices. Its all paperless here? I know I was lazy I admit it but I still think I should have received some kind of written correspondence.
