Over the past 3 decades, IRAS has worked hard to make it easy and convenient for taxpayers to fulfil their tax obligations through creating seamless taxpaying experiences. We have achieved this by addressing taxpayers' needs and tapping on technology to innovate our services. We take pride that years of efficient tax administration have contributed to our national coffers and reserves, providing the resources for Singapore to grow as a global city and an inclusive society. In recent years, we have also stepped up to our new role as the Centre of Excellence for disbursing national grants to support businesses and individuals.
We have a variety of IT roles, ranging from Software Engineering roles to Cybersecurity roles, to support the work that we do. At IRAS, our officers' well-being matters to us, and we strive to create an environment that promotes work life-life excellence. We also provide ample career opportunities for officers to grow both vertically and laterally. Our officers are empowered to make their own career choices and can apply for job rotations to take on different functions through our internal posting exercise. Some of our officers have also been seconded to other agencies such as MOF, AGD and ACRA to widen their exposure and knowledge. You can also expect to be involved in cross-divisional committees and corporate projects.
