How Is Income Tax Calculated in Singapore?

Singapore distinguishes between tax residents and non-residents. Residents are taxed at a progressive rate between 0% and 24%, and must also contribute to the Central Provident Fund (CPF). Non-residents must pay either a 15% flat rate on their employment income or the progressive resident tax rate, whichever is higher, and also a 24% flat rate on income additional to their wages.

Tax residents, as defined by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS), are:

• Singapore citizens or permanent residents who live in Singapore except for temporary absences, such as vacations.
• Foreigners who have lived or worked in Singapore for at least 183 days in the last year or continuously for the last three years (business trips, overseas vacation leave, weekends, and public holidays count toward those 183 days).
• Foreigners who have worked in Singapore over a continuous period spanning two years with a total period of stay of at least 183 days (this doesn't include directors of companies, public entertainers, or independent professionals).
