How to upload "Filing of Employer's Return IR56B" via Mixed Mode
如何以混合模式上載「提交僱主報税表IR56B」

After the IR56B XML file has been generated from the Output IR56B Data File function, you may proceed with the following procedures to submit the IR56B XML file to the Inland Revenue Department (IRD).  

When uploading the data file via Mixed Mode, the uploader is not required to be an Authorized Signer or a Business Tax Portal (BTP) / IndividualTaxPortal  ITP user. However, to complete the overall submission process, the Control List (printed after uploading the data file through Mixed Mode) must be passed to an Authorized Signer for signing on all pages. The signed Control List, together with the signed Employer’s Return (BIR56A), should then be returned to the Inland Revenue Department.  

在經由「輸出IR56B資料檔案」功能生成IR56B XML檔案後，可按以下程序將該IR56B XML檔案提交予稅務局。

以「混合模式」上載資料檔案時，上載者毋須為授權簽署人或商業稅務網站（Business Tax Portal, BTP）／個人報稅網站（Individual Tax Portal, ITP）用戶。然而，為完成整個提交程序，上載資料檔案後列印的「控制清單（Control List）」須交予授權簽署人於所有頁面簽署。簽署後的控制清單連同已簽署的僱主報稅表（BIR56A），須一併交回稅務局。

Navigate to the home page of the Inland Revenue Department and click the e‑Filing Employer’s Return Services icon to begin the submission.
