Singapore government major tax revenues include personal and corporate taxation, Goods and Services Tax, property tax, stamp duty, customs and exercise duty and others such as cross-border tax, transfer pricing and operating model effectiveness. Of these, the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) is responsible for collecting personal income tax, corporate tax, property tax, goods, and services tax, betting taxes and stamp duty. Various other government agencies collect the rest. There is also a marked absence of capital gains and dividends tax, as well as lower withholding taxes in the city-state. Singapore’s tax framework is based on territorial policy. This means that individuals and companies are taxed on incomes generated in the city-state, and on foreign sourced income remitted into the country.
