Singapore offers one of Asia's most attractive tax regimes: 0-24% progressive rates with first S$20,000 tax-free, no capital gains tax, and territorial taxation (foreign income not taxed unless remitted). But the hidden cost is CPF (Central Provident Fund): employees pay 20% of salary (capped at S$7,400/month ordinary wage, raised January 2026) while employers add 17%. A S$100,000 earner pays just S$5,650 income tax (~5.7%), but CPF contributions total S$20,000—making true payroll cost much higher. Singapore has no inheritance tax (abolished 2008) and no dividend tax, making it a wealth hub. Non-residents pay flat 15% or resident rates, whichever is higher. The 183-day rule determines tax residency. Filing deadline is April 15 (April 18 for e-filing). Use our calculator to estimate your Singapore tax liability.
