Singaporeans are generally considered as Singapore tax residents. By concession, they could elect to be treated as non-residents, if they have been working overseas for at least six months in a calendar year.

This concession will be withdrawn from Year of Assessment (YA) 2021 (income year 2020).

This change will have an impact on Singaporeans working overseas, as well as their employers.
