About this market

Market context

Corporate Tax in Singapore involves the taxation of company profits at a corporate level. This includes managing tax compliance, advisory on corporate restructuring, and understanding international tax implications for companies operating in Singapore.

Singapore operates a single-tier corporate tax system, meaning there is no further tax on dividends in the hands of shareholders. The headline corporate tax rate is 17%, though numerous schemes like the partial tax exemption and tax exemption for new start-up companies can significantly reduce the effective tax rate. Companies are required to file their estimated chargeable income (ECI) within three months after their financial year-end and their Corporate Income Tax Returns (Form C/C-S) annually with the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS).
