Expatriate tax ebook - Singapore

Most tax planning involves the structuring of employment arrangement to take advantage of various tax concessions such as area representative status and Not Ordinarily Resident (NOR) status, particularly if the employee is required to travel substantially in the course of discharging his employment duties.

With proper implementation and control, certain benefits can be provided to an employee in a tax advantageous or even tax-free manner. The cost of providing such benefits may still be tax deductible to the employer even if the benefits are tax-free on the employee.

Grant Thornton’s Tax team can advise expatriates on these and related opportunities.
