新加坡拥有广泛的税收协定网络。本栏目文章以与瑞士的协定为实例:其历史、居民身份与加比规则、常设机构、股息、利息和特许权使用费、资本利得、受雇所得、相互协商以及信息交换。与其他缔约方的协定情况连同日期概述于下文。
IRAS称其清单涵盖约100个法域,这一数字包括有限协定和信息交换安排。与香港和美国之间仅有关于国际运输中船舶和航空器所得的有限协定。与吉尔吉斯共和国和坦桑尼亚的协定已于2026年签署,尚未生效。
近期变化包括与肯尼亚的协定,该协定自2026年4月20日起生效,较低税率自2027年1月1日起适用;以及与台湾的新协定,该协定自2026年2月13日起生效,自2027年1月1日起实施。
新加坡对股息不征收预扣税,因此税收协定主要涉及税率为15%的利息、税率为10%的特许权使用费以及在另一国征收的税款。许多协定已被多边工具修订。
与瑞士的协定于2012年8月1日生效,将利息和特许权使用费的税率定为5%。2017年7月27日签署的议定书使其符合BEPS最低标准。
建议从该协定及其历史、股息、利息和特许权使用费或居民身份与加比规则开始阅读。
