Corporate Ruling 2/2026: Local Staff and Outsourced Services for Section 10L

Ruling 2/2026 assesses a non-PEHE using both qualified Singapore people and an outsourced Singapore service provider, with local decisions and expenditure.

Source checked · 11 October 2026 · Document date: 2 Jan 2026 Advance ruling · case-specific

Investment income and local operating facts

Singapore A mainly derives related-company interest/dividends and plans overseas subsidiary divestments in symbolic X/YA Y. It is in a relevant group and not a PEHE. It has adequate qualified/experienced human resources for local operations, a Singapore third-party provider servicing it here, local key decision makers and expected local expenditure above undisclosed S$Z. Outsourcing is one fact alongside its own people, not a replacement asserted sufficient on its own.

Excluded-entity period

Published 2 January 2026, IRAS finds paragraph (b) 10L(16) non-PEHE substance and exclusion under 10L(8)(d). Foreign disposal gains remitted or deemed remitted here are not taxable under 10(1)(g). The result covers its foreign-asset disposals during YA Y–Y+4 basis periods; anonymised Y/Z do not prescribe public dates or expense limits.

Guide and bounded effect

Third-edition foreign-asset guide paragraph 8/8.7–8.9 explains non-PEHE disposal-period substance. The ruling binds only applicant/specified arrangement and summaries are not revised for later legal/interpretative changes. It does not decide a blanket exemption for related-party dividends/interest.
