Programme Synopsis

Singapore is widely recognized as a leading business hub in the Asia-Pacific region, with a competitive tax system that supports businesses of all sizes and industries. Despite already having one of the lowest corporate income tax rates in the world, currently at 17%, the Singapore government still implements a range of tax incentives and schemes to encourage foreign and domestic investments to further enhance its attractiveness to investors. The tax incentives and grants offered are generally in the form of exemption from tax, and reduction in the rate of tax or subsidies, and are available to a broad spectrum of industries.

Singapore is committed to ensuring that its business environment, including incentives remains competitive while remaining compliant to international standards. Like many other countries, tax incentives form part of Singapore’s suite of fiscal tools in strengthening its value proposition as a compelling global hub for businesses and foreign investments, and Singapore’s tax incentives have been reviewed to be compliant with the OECD’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) framework.
