Singapore, Saudi Arabia sign agreement for avoidance of double taxation

New DTA to further enhance strong bilateral trade links by minimising the double taxation of income.

Singapore and Saudi Arabia signed an Agreement Monday for the avoidance of double taxation ("DTA").

Singapore’s Minister for Foreign Affairs Mr. George Yeo signed the Agreement in Riyadh with Saudi Arabia's Minister of Finance Dr. Ibrahim A. Al-Assaf, according to a Ministry of Finance report.

The new DTA is expected to further enhance the strong bilateral trade links by minimising the double taxation of income that may occur as a result of cross-border economic activities between the two countries. Amongst other provisions, the DTA includes the internationally agreed Standard for the exchange of information upon request for tax purposes, provides for lower withholding taxes, and sets out permanent establishment rules for businesses.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
