Not Ordinarily Resident Scheme: Historical Concessions

The NOR Scheme has ceased. The last granted status ran from YA 2020 to YA 2024, so these concessions are historical rather than an available new programme.

Time-apportionment concession

Eligible NOR residents could exclude the business-travel portion of Singapore employment income where overseas business days reached at least 90 and Singapore employment income reached S$160,000. A minimum tax of 10% of total employment income applied if apportionment produced less. Directors’ fees and employer-borne Singapore tax could not be apportioned.

Pension concession and annual applications

A separate concession concerned non-mandatory overseas pension or social-security contributions for non-citizen, non-PR employees with at least S$160,000 of employment income, subject to the employer’s non-deduction and the NOR cap. Concessions required yearly applications by the relevant filing deadline; obtaining NOR status did not automatically grant a late annual concession. The original retains detailed historic employer and contribution examples.
