Singapore and Vietnam move closer to revising avoidance of double taxation

Both countries signed a Second Protocol to revise the long-standing tax agreement.

In a release, the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore announced that Singapore and Vietnam have inked a Second Protocol that expresses both parties' desire to amend the agreement governing the avoidance of double taxation and the prevention of fiscal evasion with respect to taxes on income.

The said agreement was signed at Hanoi on 2 March 1994, and proposals have been forwarded on how the agreement will be tweaked.

Changes proposed include new definitions on what encompasses and governs dividends exemption, interest taxation, royalties, capital gains and exchange of information, among other areas of concern. The IRAS has detailed the proposed changes here.

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.
