Taxes · IRAS

Personal Income: Taxable and Non-Taxable Categories

IRAS generally taxes income earned in or derived from Singapore. Overseas income received in Singapore is generally not taxable for individuals, subject to exceptions.

Employment and business receipts

The directory separates salary, bonuses, directors’ fees, commissions, stock-option gains, pensions, retirement and retrenchment benefits. Business income includes freelance and gig work. Government grants and virtual-currency receipts have distinct guidance; a business accepting digital tokens remains subject to normal income-tax rules.

Property, investment and other income

Separate pages explain rental income, dividends, interest, disposal gains, annuities, maintenance payments, estate or trust income, royalties and SRS withdrawals. The directory states that betting and lottery winnings are not taxable. A category’s inclusion in this list does not mean every receipt in that category is taxable; read its detailed treatment.
