payable can be affected by exemptions, rebates, deductions, incentives and the nature of the company&#8217;s income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For YA 2026, eligible companies can benefit from a 50% Corporate Income Tax rebate, subject to the applicable S$40,000 cap and conditions. GST remains a separate obligation, with compulsory registration generally linked to the S$1 million taxable-turnover threshold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Businesses should also consider withholding tax, foreign income rules and their annual IRAS filing requirements. Maintaining accurate accounting records throughout the year is essential for supporting tax computations and meeting compliance obligations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arnifi can support Singapore businesses with accounting, Corporate Income Tax, GST and ongoing tax-compliance requirements.
