Frequently asked questions

Why was my SSIC code automatically changed from 90003 to 90202?
Singapore's national industrial classification was updated from SSIC 2020 to SSIC 2025, effective 9 May 2026. ACRA's BizFile+ system automatically mapped every existing entity to its closest SSIC 2025 equivalent using the official SingStat correspondence table. The code SSIC 90003 (Producing live musical entertainment) was reclassified to SSIC 90202 (Orchestras, musical bands, choirs and dance performance activities) under that mapping.
Do I need to take any action?
Usually no. If your business activity is unchanged, the new code accurately reflects it under SSIC 2025 and no manual update is needed. You should only update if (a) the auto-mapped code doesn't match what you actually do, (b) your activity has changed independently, or (c) you claim a sector-specific licence or grant tied to the old code.
How many Singapore companies were affected by this specific recode?
Based on the change log we've maintained since the 9 May 2026 cutover, 394 companies have been reclassified from SSIC 90003 to SSIC 90202. Of those, 251 had it as their primary SSIC code and 143 as a secondary code.
What's the difference between SSIC 90003 and SSIC 90202?
SSIC 90003 was titled "Producing live musical entertainment". Under SSIC 2025, the equivalent activity sits at SSIC 90202 ("Orchestras, musical bands, choirs and dance performance activities"). The two cover the same underlying activity per SingStat's official correspondence table; the SSIC 2025 title and number reflect the updated classification.
