Tax benefits

Taxes often eat away a sizeable portion of business profits which make investors wary of investing in business in countries that impose high taxes. Singapore is an exception in this respect because it offers several tax benefits to attract investors. A new company enjoys tax-free profits up to SGD 100,000 while the tax payable on profits between SGD 100,000 to SGD 200,000 is 8.5% only. When company profits exceed SCD 300,000, the tax payable is 17%. There are no capital gains tax payable, and the same applies to the dividend paid to shareholders.

From the very first day, businesses enjoy full revenue earning and the sooner you can set up business faster will the profits flow that business owners can enjoy to the fullest as they do not have to pay taxes.
