Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) #### Q: What are the benefits of setting up a company in Singapore? A: Singapore has a competitive corporate tax rate of 17% with generous tax exemptions for startups, no capital gains tax, and no dividend withholding taxes. It features double-taxation treaties (DTAs) with over 80 countries, solid corporate protections, robust digital infrastructure, and a strategic position as the primary financial hub for the ASEAN region. #### Q: Can foreigners own 100% of a company in Singapore? A: Yes. Foreigners can own 100% of the shareholding in a Singapore private limited company. However, the company must appoint at least one resident director (Singapore citizen, Permanent Resident, or an Employment/EntrePass holder). VietCham provides Nominee Director services to satisfy this regulatory requirement. #### Q: Do I need to travel to Singapore to incorporate the company? A: No. The incorporation process can be executed 100% remotely. VietCham coordinates document signing and electronic ACRA filing online. Setting up digital corporate banking accounts also does not require travel. Physical presence is only required if you choose to open a corporate account with traditional brick-and-mortar banks that necessitate in-person verification. #### Q: What is the minimum paid-up capital in Singapore? A: The absolute minimum paid-up capital is SGD 1. However, if the business intends to sponsor foreign workers or founders under an Employment Pass, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) evaluates capitalization. A starting paid-up capital of at least SGD 50,000 is highly recommended in such cases. #### Q: Can I act as the director of the company in Singapore? A: Every Singapore company requires at least one resident director (Singapore citizen, PR, or EP holder). If you do not meet this regulatory requirement, VietCham provides Nominee Resident Director services as part of all incorporation packages. #### Q: What do I need to do after setting up the company? A: Post-incorporation steps include opening a corporate bank account, registering for CorpPass, registering for CPF (if hiring local employees), registering for GST (if annual taxable revenue exceeds SGD 1 million), and setting up bookkeeping and accounting systems. #### Q: What is an Investment Registration Certificate (IRC) in Vietnam? A: The IRC is a mandatory document for foreign-invested projects in Vietnam, issued by the Department of Planning and Investment (DPI). It confirms the government's approval of your investment project and outlines the project's scope, objectives, and capital, as required by Vietnam's Investment Law. --- ## Sources and verification - VietCham services: https://www.vietcham.org.sg/services - VietCham leadership: https://www.vietcham.org.sg/about - ACRA business registration: https://www.acra.gov.sg/register/business/ - IRAS corporate income tax: https://www.iras.gov.sg/taxes/corporate-income-tax/ - Ministry of Manpower Employment Pass: https://www.mom.gov.sg/passes-and-permits/employment-pass
