Useful Info › Tax

The personal income of residents in Singapore is subject to income tax calculated on a sliding scale ranging from 2 percent on the first $5,000 to 28 percent on income greater than $400,000. For expats working in Singapore, the amount of income tax you have to pay to the Singaporean government depends on several criteria:

  1. Whether you are treated as a tax resident or a non-tax resident of Singapore.
  2. How much income you earn.
  3. Whether your home country has a tax treaty with Singapore, as well as the provisions of the treaty (Singapore has tax treaties or some form of double taxation agreements with more than 50 countries).

Tax residency status depends on the employment period in Singapore. The income tax imposed on foreigners employed in Singapore is as follows:

  1. An individual remaining in Singapore for not more than 60 days in a year is tax exempted.
  2. An individual remaining in Singapore for more than 60 days but less than 183 days in a year, and whose income is derived from or received in Singapore, is subject to tax at the rate applicable to Singapore residents or 15 percent, whichever is higher.
  3. An individual remaining in Singapore for more than 183 days in a year is considered a resident and taxed accordingly.

It should be noted that any income arising from sources outside the country and received in Singapore by an individual (other than partners of a partnership) is exempt from tax.
