Introduction
Singapore is one of the best countries in Asia for companies to grow their businesses with one of the lowest corporate and personal tax rates in the world, on top of a host of other tax schemes and incentives.

Singapore has a territorial tax system which taxes income arising, accrued or remitted in Singapore. With our intensive Double Tax Treaty agreements with many countries, double taxation is eliminated in most situations.

Generally, we do not have capital gain tax in Singapore (some exceptions with respect to property transactions).
