These include a $2,000 cash payout and a 50% income tax rebate of up to $40,000.

Companies in Singapore can look forward to a tax rebate of up to $40,000 in 2024.

In his budget speech, Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong announced that Singapore will give out a 50% income tax rebate, capped at $40,000 a year.

This is part of an enterprise support package of $1.3b, aimed at supporting companies. In particular, this year’s support programs are tilted towards firms that are making the effort to restructure and transform, said Wong.

Singapore Budget

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.
