Corporate Tax for Australian Business Owners in Singapore

In this month’s episode of Money Side Up, we cover three major themes shaping the financial landscape for expats and business owners.

We start with a breakdown of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill and what the latest version means for global remittances, especially for families depending on overseas transfers. Then, we unpack the August rate cut expectations and what they could signal for markets and expats alike.

Our feature interview is with Boon Tan from CST Tax, who joins us to discuss everything Australian business owners need to know about setting up and running a business in Singapore. From tax structures and GST requirements to transfer pricing, profit repatriation, and common pitfalls, Boon shares practical insights and strategies to help business owners thrive in one of Asia’s most dynamic markets.

In this episode, we explore:
→ Why Australian business owners choose Singapore as a base
→ The key legal structures and how the corporate tax system works
→ Common tax mistakes to avoid and how GST applies
→ Double tax agreements and their impact on cross-border operations
→ The implications of profit repatriation and residency requirements
→ Practical insights and red flags for compliance with Singapore’s IRAS
