Singapore to roll out more stringent tax reporting rules for MNCs

As part of the BEPS project.

Singapore-headquartered multinational corporations will be subject to stricter tax reporting rules starting 2017, after the city state revealed that it will join the global implementation of the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) project.

In a bid to crack down on tax avoidance by global firms, the city-state will implement Country-by-Country Reporting for Singapore-headquartered multinational enterprises for financial years beginning on or after 1 Jan 2017.
Singapore will also work with other jurisdictions to help develop the implementation and monitoring phase of the BEPS Project.

“Singapore is committed to working with the international community to counter artificial shifting of profits, and continues to welcome substantive economic activities. We will be actively involved with the OECD and G20 in ensuring the consistent implementation of the BEPS standards across all jurisdictions, so as to ensure a level playing field,” said Tharman Shanmugaratnam, deputy prime minister, coordinating minister for economic and social policies & minister for finance.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
