Dividend tax rate

In Singapore, shareholders benefit from tax-exempt dividends received from Singapore-resident companies because of the one-tier corporate tax system. There is no withholding tax on dividends, which means they are tax-free for both resident and non-resident shareholders. This system streamlines the taxation of dividends and removes any additional tax liabilities.
