FAQ

Common questions

What is the corporate tax rate in Singapore for a Private Limited company? +
Singapore has a flat 17% corporate tax rate. New startup companies enjoy tax exemption schemes with 75% tax exemption on the first SGD 10,000 of taxable profit and 50% exemption on the next SGD 190,000 for their first 3 consecutive tax years. Singapore also levies zero tax on capital gains or dividends.
Do foreign owners need a local resident Nominee Director? +
Yes, under the Singapore Companies Act, every Private Limited company must appoint at least one director who is ordinarily resident in Singapore (Singapore Citizen, Permanent Resident, or eligible Pass holder). SetupHero provides a professional Nominee Director service to meet this ACRA requirement.
How fast can a Singapore company be incorporated? +
Incorporation through ACRA Businessfile typically takes 1 to 2 business days once name approval and identity verification (KYC) are completed.
Does incorporating a Singapore company qualify me for an Employment Pass (EP)? +
Yes, active directors or executive founders can apply for an Employment Pass (EP) under the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) COMPASS framework, allowing you to legally reside and work in Singapore.
Do you assist with opening Singapore corporate bank accounts? +
Yes. We introduce and assist founders with top Singapore financial institutions including DBS, OCBC, UOB, HSBC, as well as digital platforms like Aspire and Wise Business.
What is the difference between a Branch Office and a Representative Office in Singapore? +
A Branch Office is an extension of a foreign parent company registered with ACRA that can engage in commercial, revenue-generating activities. A Representative Office (RO) registered with EnterpriseSG is restricted strictly to market research and liaison activities with no commercial operations allowed.
Is a Singapore Branch Office taxed on global profits? +
No, a Singapore Branch Office is only subject to Singapore corporate tax (17%) on income derived from or remitted into Singapore. However, foreign branches generally do not qualify for local startup tax exemption schemes reserved for Singapore-incorporated companies.
What local representation is required for a Foreign Branch Office? +
A Singapore Branch Office must appoint at least one local Authorized Representative who is ordinarily resident in Singapore (Citizen, PR, or EP holder) to act on behalf of the parent corporation.
What ongoing ACRA and IRAS filings are required for a Branch Office? +
Branch Offices are required to lodge their annual returns and audited financial statements (both for the Singapore branch and parent entity) with ACRA, alongside annual corporate income tax returns with IRAS.
