You are strongly encouraged to sign up for CPF e-Submission to make your first CPF payment. To do so, please submit the following documents at least 7 weeks before the due date of your first CPF payment : 1. Form CPF/1 2. CPF e-Submission Registration Form 3. Application for Interbank GIRO Form (if applicable) For more information on CPF e-Submission, click here. If you need to make your first CPF payment by cheque, please attach the cheque together with the Form CPF/1 and submit it to us. Your cheque should be crossed and made payable to “CPF Board”. The employer’s name, contact details and the words “Making First CPF Contribution” must be indicated at the back of the cheque. You will receive a welcome package and your CPF Submission Number after we have processed your Form CPF/1. For your information, a processing fee of $7 per employee per month is charged for employers who submit CPF contribution details for 11 and more employees using the hardcopy Payment Advice (i.e. not on CPF e-Submission). This will be extended to employers with 4 to 10 employees from October 2010. In the near future, employers with 3 or fewer employees may also need to pay the processing fee if they are submitting their CPF contribution details via the hardcopy Payment Advice.

Changing the legal status of your existing entity

Employers who are changing the legal status of their entities are required to re-register with the Board. If you are changing the legal status of your existing entity without any changes in your particulars (e.g. contact details, Principal Place of Business etc), you are only required to complete Section A and D of Form CPF/1 and submit it to us. You will receive your new CPF Submission Number after we have processed your application. For enquiries, please call CPF Call Centre at 1800-227 1188 or email us at employer-accounts@cpf.gov.sg.
