Who is a Singapore Tax Resident?

Singapore’s personal income tax rate is determined by the individual’s tax residency status. An individual will be recognized as a tax resident in Singapore if you are a:

  • Singapore Citizen (Except for temporary absences)
  • Singapore Permanent Resident (Has a permanent home in Singapore)
  • Foreigner
    • Stayed/worked in Singapore for 183 days or more in the year preceding the Year of Assessment (YA)
    • Excludes company director

If you do not fall under the above-mentioned categories, you will be recognized as a Singapore non-resident for tax purposes instead.

Personal Income Tax Rate for Tax Residents

Singapore’s personal income tax rates are progressive for tax residents. This means that higher-income earners are subjected to a higher tax rate, with the maximum personal income tax rate at 22%. Please refer to the infographic below to see how your chargeable income is being taxed. You can also use our personal income tax calculator to estimate your tax payable too!

Personal Income Tax for Non-Tax Residents

Non-tax residents in Singapore are also subjected to taxation. Taxes for non-tax residents are applicable on:

Employment Income

Non-residents’ employment income is taxed at either a flat rate of 15% or at the progressive resident tax rates, whichever is higher.

Director’s Fees, Consultation Fees, & Other Income Sources

For non-residents, a tax rate of 22% is imposed on incomes and fees earned. This ensures that parity is maintained between non-residents’ tax rates and residents’ top marginal tax rates.
