Singapore-Taiwan tax pact targets double taxation and evasion

The treaty also cuts withholding taxes on cross-border income.

The tax agreement between the Singapore Trade Office in Taipei and the Taipei Representative Office in Singapore entered into force on 13 February, replacing the previous treaty in effect since 1982.

The agreement covers the elimination of double taxation on income and the prevention of tax evasion and avoidance.

In addition, the treaty lowers withholding tax rates on income flows arising from cross-border business activities.

The agreement was signed on 31 December 2025 by Trade Representative Yip Wei Kiat and Representative Tung Chen-yuan.

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.
