0% Tax in Singapore — Is It Possible?

Yes — through the Startup Tax Exemption (SUTE) scheme, new companies pay 0% on the first SGD 100,000 profit and only 4.25% on the next SGD 100,000 in their first three years. Additionally, there is no capital gains tax and no dividend tax. For holding companies and international structures, Singapore thus offers effective tax rates close to 0%. This makes Singapore ideal as a personal holding or for international e-commerce businesses.

What is a Nominee Director?

Singapore requires at least one locally resident director. If you do not have Singapore residency yourself, we provide a Nominee Director — a licensed local person who fulfills this legal requirement.

The Nominee Director has no operational control over your company. All decisions remain with you as the shareholder. This is a common and fully legal practice in Singapore.
