Singapore to roll out more stringent tax reporting rules for MNCs

As part of the BEPS project.

Singapore-headquartered multinational corporations will be subject to stricter tax reporting rules starting 2017, after the city state revealed that it will join the global implementation of the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) project.

In a bid to crack down on tax avoidance by global firms, the city-state will implement Country-by-Country Reporting for Singapore-headquartered multinational enterprises for financial years beginning on or after 1 Jan 2017.
Singapore will also work with other jurisdictions to help develop the implementation and monitoring phase of the BEPS Project.

“Singapore is committed to working with the international community to counter artificial shifting of profits, and continues to welcome substantive economic activities. We will be actively involved with the OECD and G20 in ensuring the consistent implementation of the BEPS standards across all jurisdictions, so as to ensure a level playing field,” said Tharman Shanmugaratnam, deputy prime minister, coordinating minister for economic and social policies & minister for finance.

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.
