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.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
