Singapore Government declares Zero tax for new Business set up in Singapore

There has never been a better time than now to setup your Singapore Company Operation.

To encourage foreign entrepreneurs to setup their business in Singapore, the Government has declared a full tax exemption for newly incorporated companies. With the introduction of new tax cuts and incentives, Singapore has become the best place to incorporate and operate your business. Newly incorporated Singapore companies will enjoy a full-tax exemption on $100K annual profits during the first three years of their business.

NEW START UP COMPANIES

Full tax exemption is granted on the first $100,000 of Chargeable Income for qualifying new companies for the first three years of assessment consecutively

Income Tax Rates

  • First $100,000 Nil
  • The next $100,001 to $300,000 9%
  • Thereafter a Flat Rate of 18%

Note: *A qualifying new company must fulfill the following conditions:

  • It is incorporated in Singapore;
  • It is a tax resident of Singapore for that Year of Assessment;
  • It has no more than 20 shareholders throughout the basis period relating to that Year of Assessment

New startups will enjoy a full-tax exemption of 100K during the first three years of their business. Existing companies’ Corporate tax rate will drop from 20% to 18%. For small-to-midsize companies, these cuts bring the effective tax rate to significantly lower than Honk Kong's and make Singapore a very attractive destination for incorporating and growing a business. A Singapore company with profits around 300K will now have an effective tax rate of only about 9%.

The attractive tax rates make Singapore one of the lowest tax regimes in Asia after Hong Kong. Singapore is well on its way to become the best place to setup and grow business for global entrepreneurs. The government just announced a series of incentives and tax benefits to further sharpen the country's competitive edge, making it the most preferred place to do business in the world.
