Advanced corporate income tax (Part 2) - (Aug 2026)

This advanced session builds on the compliance foundations from Part 1, shifting from interpretation to strategic tax planning. You will learn how leading professionals design defensible positions that withstand review and optimising outcomes across jurisdictions. The workshop emphasises the practical use of Singapores key planning tools, including transfer-pricing documentation, residency optimisation, foreign-sourced income exemptions, and advance tax rulings to strengthen governance, mitigate risk, and enhance credibility with the tax authorities.

Through real-world scenarios, you will explore how to anticipate IRAS expectations, document robust reasoning, and integrate tax compliance into a broader business strategy.

Completing both sessions provides a comprehensive, 360-degree understanding of Singapores corporate income tax framework.

Key topics covered

• Practical application of Singapores transfer pricing principles and documentation requirements
• Determining and maintaining Singapore tax residency status
• Tax exemption for qualifying foreign-sourced income received in Singapore
• Effective use of advance tax rulings for certainty in complex cases
• Leveraging the voluntary disclosure regime to minimise penalties and maintain credibility
