Complicated tax regulations may intimidate and confuse potential investors thinking about starting a business in economically stable Singapore, often said to be a portal to larger markets in Asia. http://www.rikvin.com/ offers tax advice for potential start-ups in navigating various legal and administrative infrastructures.

The Prime Minister made these statements at the Economic Development Board's 50th anniversary dinner, in response to investors whether his government would be changing its economic position for various political reasons.
Local businesses have historically benefited from the openness of the economy, filling the country’s coffers even with a comparatively low Singapore corporate tax rate. With a tax year from 1 January to 31 December, income tax in Singapore is assessed on a preceding year basis. Singaporean tax also adopts progressive personal tax rates, relative to an individual’s amount of income.
This translates into a low-risk environment, highly conducive for start-ups and entrepreneurs looking for a platform to launch their goods and services in the lucrative Asian markets.
Satish Bakhda, Rikvin’s Head of Operations, mentions that “Singapore income tax structure is one of the friendliest and most competitive in the world.” Despite this friendliness, applicants new to such a system regulated by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) might find the various administrative protocols foreign, and just a bit daunting to navigate.
Income tax in Singapore does not need to be a complex and frustrating matter, Bakhda says, with Rikvin Singapore offering a free downloadable guide to the IRAS Singapore income tax system that is both comprehensive and easy to understand.
He points out that the Singapore corporate tax rate is 17%, but the effective tax rate is in fact lower due to partial exemption available to all companies, and even more favourable exemptions available to new companies. With its extensive double tax treaty network and absence of capital gains coupled with tax exemptions, Singapore clearly still remains an attractive location for companies to set up operations.
