Singapore provides $1.3b to support local companies

These include a $2,000 cash payout and a 50% income tax rebate of up to $40,000.

Companies in Singapore can look forward to a tax rebate of up to $40,000 in 2024.

In his budget speech, Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong announced that Singapore will give out a 50% income tax rebate, capped at $40,000 a year.

This is part of an enterprise support package of $1.3b, aimed at supporting companies. In particular, this year’s support programs are tilted towards firms that are making the effort to restructure and transform, said Wong.

The enhanced maximum trade loan quantum has also been extended until 31 March 2025; whilst the Skills Future Enterprise credit’s validity has been extended by 1 year to 30 June 2025. With this, businesses have another year to claim any unused credit.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
