Our International Tax Capabilities

We translate complex global tax frameworks into tangible, defensible corporate strategies that protect your bottom line.

Cross-Border Tax Structuring

We architect tax-efficient holding structures and intellectual property (IP) routing. We actively leverage Singapore’s 100+ Double Taxation Agreements (DTAs) and Foreign-Sourced Income Exemption (FSIE) rules to drastically reduce your withholding taxes and prevent double taxation.

Transfer Pricing & APA Defense

Singapore enforces strict transfer pricing documentation rules. We draft bulletproof Master Files, Local Files, and Country-by-Country Reports (CbCR) aligned with OECD arm's length principles. We also negotiate Advance Pricing Agreements (APAs) to guarantee future certainty with IRAS.

M&A Tax Due Diligence

Do not inherit historical tax liabilities. Before your next acquisition or divestiture, we execute rigorous buy-side and sell-side tax due diligence. We advise on optimal pre-deal structuring and post-merger integrations to preserve deal value.

Global Tax Compliance (FATCA/CRS)

Regulatory scrutiny is at an all-time high. We guide financial institutions, funds, and holding companies through the complex reporting obligations of the Common Reporting Standard (CRS), FATCA, and Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) initiatives to keep you off international blacklists.

How We Engage With Your Firm

Complex tax advisory requires custom execution. Rather than rigid packages, we structure our engagements around the depth of intervention your business requires.

Phase 1

Vulnerability Audit & Diagnosis

A high-impact review of your current global corporate structure. We analyze your intercompany agreements, supply chains, and historic filings to identify tax leakage, transfer pricing exposure, and immediate compliance risks.

Phase 2

Custom Structuring Memos

For market entry, M&A, or corporate restructuring. We deliver formal, legally defensible Tax Advisory Memos detailing step-by-step implementation plans to optimize your new entity structures and capital repatriation channels.

Phase 3

Retained Advisory & Audit Defense

Ongoing, proactive tax management. Our team acts as your outsourced international tax desk, handling annual Transfer Pricing documentation updates, managing multi-jurisdictional filings, and representing your firm directly in the event of an IRAS audit.

Is your current tax structure leaving money on the table?

Inefficient cross-border structures drain capital and invite audits. Let Hub’s experts redesign your tax footprint for maximum compliance and profitability.

Technical Tax FAQs

Straight answers to complex multi-jurisdictional tax questions.

Does Singapore tax foreign-sourced income?

Singapore operates on a territorial tax system. However, foreign-sourced income (such as branch profits, dividends, and service income) remitted into Singapore is subject to tax *unless* it qualifies for the Foreign-Sourced Income Exemption (FSIE) scheme under Section 13(8) of the Income Tax Act. We actively structure clients to meet FSIE conditions.

What are the Transfer Pricing documentation thresholds in Singapore?

Under IRAS guidelines, a Singapore company must prepare contemporaneous Transfer Pricing (TP) documentation if its gross revenue derived from its trade or business exceeds S$10 million for the financial year, AND it undertakes significant related-party transactions. Failure to maintain this documentation can result in severe fines and arbitrary tax adjustments by IRAS.

How do Double Taxation Agreements (DTAs) benefit my holding company?

Singapore has an extensive network of over 100 comprehensive DTAs. Properly structuring a Singapore Holding Company allows you to leverage these treaties to significantly reduce or completely eliminate withholding taxes on dividends, royalties, and interest payments moving between your subsidiary jurisdictions and your headquarters.

What is BEPS and how does it affect my multinational company?

Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) refers to international tax planning strategies that exploit gaps and mismatches in tax rules to artificially shift profits. Singapore is fully committed to the OECD's BEPS inclusive framework. Multinational enterprises must ensure their local operations possess "economic substance" matching where profits are reported, otherwise they risk aggressive cross-border audits.
