Income Tax on Employment Exercised in Singapore

Income from work performed in Singapore is taxable, including cash remuneration and non-cash benefits. Tax residency determines the applicable rates.

Source checked · 11 October 2026

Where the work is performed

IRAS treats income from services provided or employment exercised in Singapore as Singapore-sourced income. Review both salary and benefits when identifying employment receipts; the form of remuneration does not by itself remove taxability.

Determine residency before calculating tax

The source page directs readers to the residency tests and income-tax rates. Duration and purpose of the stay matter when determining tax residency. Use those detailed pages before calculating tax rather than assuming that citizenship, an employer’s location or a pass type alone settles the rate.
