Singapore Partial Tax Exemption
Singapore offers a partial tax exemption scheme to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This scheme provides tax relief on a portion of the company's chargeable income.
Here's a breakdown of the partial tax exemption:
Chargeable income up to $300,000:
75% tax exemption on the first $10,000 of chargeable income
50% tax exemption on the next $290,000 of chargeable income
Important Notes:
The partial tax exemption is automatically applied when you file your corporate income tax return.
This scheme is designed to help SMEs grow and establish themselves in Singapore.
