Key compliance for Singapore company

If you are incorporating a new Singapore company, here are key compliance requirements you’ll need to know and comply.

  1. You need to appoint a qualified resident Company secretary for your  Singapore company. Offshore Company Corp will be your Company secretary upon your request
  2. You need to provide a local, physical Singapore address as the registered address of the company. This address must be open and accessible to the public during normal office hours. Our Incorporation services do include this service!
  3. You need to appoint a minimum of one Resident director for your Singapore company, who needs to be at least at least 18 years old, not bankrupt, and free of any malpractice charges.
  4. If your company annual revenue of your Singapore company exceeds S$1 million, you’ll need to register for Goods and Services Tax (GST, it is VAT in some other countries). GST-registered companies need to charge this tax (currently 7%) to their clients on the goods and services provided, and remit this amount to the tax authorities.
  5. You may also need to obtain one or more business licenses before you can commence your Singapore business operations. Business activities under this category include restaurants, educational institutes, travel agencies, financial services. Contact to our advisory staff to find more.
