Use EIS to Upskill Your Team and Save Big.

What is the Enterprise Innovation Scheme (EIS)?

The Enterprise Innovation Scheme (EIS) is a tax incentive introduced by the Singapore government to encourage businesses to invest in innovation, upskilling, and capability development. Administered by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS), it was first announced at Budget 2023 and has since been enhanced at Budget 2026 to include AI-related expenditure.

  • 400% tax deductions on approved expenditure on SSG-eligible training courses, up to $400,000 per qualifying activity per Year of Assessment.
  • 100% tax deduction on the balance of qualifying training expenditure in excess of $400,000.
  • Or a non-taxable cash payout of 20% on qualifying expenditure, capped at $20,000 per year — for businesses with little or no taxable income.

What Makes EIS Different from Other Subsidies?

Most subsidies reduce the upfront cost of training. EIS works differently — it rewards you after the training is done, through your tax filing. This means EIS can be stacked on top of existing subsidies like SSG, SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC), and UTAP, giving your business multiple layers of support for the same training investment.

Budget 2026 Update: AI Expenditure Now Qualifies

From Year of Assessment (YA) 2027 to YA 2028, businesses can also claim EIS on qualifying AI-related expenditure, including the cost of AI tools and platforms used for business purposes. This makes it an even stronger reason to invest in AI upskilling for your team now.

How It Works

1
Check Your Eligibility

Confirm your business is registered and operating in Singapore. If opting for the cash payout, ensure you meet the 3 local employee rule.

2
Enrol Your Team

Register your employees for any of our SSG-eligible corporate training courses and pay the net course fees after SSG subsidies.

3
Claim Your Benefits

Submit your EIS claim to IRAS during your annual tax filing to receive your 400% tax deduction or 20% cash payout.

Who Can Apply & Which Courses Are Eligible?

You're eligible if you:

  • Are a registered business operating in Singapore
  • Have at least 3 full-time local employees with 6 months CPF (for cash payout option only)

What you'll need:

  • CorpPass access for myTax Portal
  • Invoices and training certificates from Heicoders
