All Types of Taxes in Singapore: Complete 2026 Guide with Due Dates
Singapore has a comparatively simple tax system, but it is not tax-free. The main taxes are Individual Income Tax, Corporate Income Tax, GST, Property Tax, Stamp Duty, Withholding Tax, Trust and Estate Income Tax, Gambling Duties, Customs and Excise Duties, Carbon Tax, vehicle-related taxes, and employer levies such as CPF, SDL and Foreign Worker Levy. For 2026, the key dates are 1 March to 18 April for YA 2026 individual income tax filing, 1 March for employer AIS income submission, 31 January for annual property tax payment, GST filing/payment one month after the GST accounting period, ECI within three months after company financial year-end, and 30 November 2026 for YA 2026 corporate income tax returns.
Quick Answer: What Taxes Exist in Singapore?
Singapore taxes personal income, company profits, most goods and services through GST, property ownership, property and share transfers through stamp duty, selected payments to non-residents through withholding tax, gambling activities, carbon emissions, and selected imports such as liquor, tobacco, motor vehicles and petroleum products. Singapore generally does not tax capital gains, does not have estate duty for deaths on or after 15 February 2008, and does not levy a general gift tax or net wealth tax.
For individuals
Start with Individual Income Tax, property tax, stamp duty, CPF, property ownership, no-capital-gains-tax rules and filing deadlines.
For businesses
Focus on Corporate Income Tax, ECI, GST, withholding tax, stamp duty, CPF/SDL/FWL, customs duties and carbon tax where applicable.
For property buyers
Check property tax, BSD, ABSD, SSD, lease duty, mortgage duty, share duty and Annual Value-based calculations before signing documents.
How Singapore’s Tax System Is Organized
Singapore is a city-state, so there is no state or provincial income tax. The main revenue authority is IRAS, but not every tax-like cost is handled by IRAS. Customs and excise duties are administered through Singapore Customs, vehicle taxes through LTA and Singapore Customs, CPF/SDL through CPF Board, Foreign Worker Levy through MOM, and Carbon Tax through NEA.

Deadline Patterns by Singapore Tax Type
Some Singapore taxes use annual dates, while others are event-based. Stamp duty, customs duty, vehicle tax and WHT depend on a transaction or payment date. GST, CPF, SDL and FWL are recurring period-based obligations.
| Tax / obligation | Normal deadline pattern | Common mistake to avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Individual Income Tax | Filing season usually 1 Mar to 18 Apr. Tax payment due within 1 month from tax bill unless GIRO instalment applies. | Thinking No-Filing Service means no need to check reliefs or tax bill. |
| AIS employment income | Employers submit by 1 Mar each year. | Late employer AIS submission can delay or distort employee tax bills. |
| Corporate Income Tax return | Form C-S, Form C-S Lite or Form C due by 30 Nov each year. | Dormant or loss-making companies may still need to file unless waiver applies. |
| ECI | Within 3 months from financial year-end unless waiver applies. | Waiting for IRAS notification; obligation can still exist without notice. |
| GST | Return and payment due 1 month after accounting period-end. | Assuming extensions are available; IRAS says one month is reasonable and no extension is generally granted. |
| Property Tax | Annual bill due by 31 Jan or date stated in bill. | Thinking property tax is based on actual rent; it is based on Annual Value. |
| Stamp Duty | 14 days after signing in Singapore; 30 days after receiving in Singapore if signed overseas. | Signing first and forgetting the stamping clock starts immediately. |
| Withholding Tax | 15th of the second month from date of payment to non-resident. | Using invoice date instead of the relevant date of payment/deemed payment. |
| CPF | Due by last day of month; enforcement if unpaid by 14th of following month. | Assuming the 14th is the real due date; legal due date is month-end. |
| SDL | Paid with CPF contribution workflow. | Forgetting SDL applies to all employees, including foreign employees. |
| Foreign Worker Levy | Due by 17th of following month or next working day. | Missing GIRO deduction and not paying by the due date. |
| Carbon Tax | Emissions report by 30 Jun; carbon tax liability generally by 30 Sep after reporting period. | Missing verified report preparation before the June deadline. |
| Customs / Excise Duty | At import, release, permit or declaration stage. | Ignoring dutiable categories: liquor, tobacco, motor vehicles and petroleum products. |
| Casino / Gambling Duties | Monthly or event-based; many gambling duties due by 15th of following month. | Assuming all gambling tax is annual. |
| Road Tax | Renewed for 6 or 12 months before expiry. | Missing inspection/insurance prerequisites before renewal. |
| Estate Duty | Legacy only; removed for deaths on or after 15 Feb 2008. | Confusing estate duty with estate income tax or stamp duty. |
Important Singapore Tax Formulas
These formulas are simplified for education and planning. Final tax depends on IRAS rules, tax residency, reliefs, exemptions, taxable status, accounting period, property type, buyer profile, non-resident payment type and official assessments.
Taxable income
\[ \text{Chargeable Income} = \text{Assessable Income} - \text{Personal Reliefs} - \text{Allowable Deductions} \]
Progressive individual income tax
\[ \text{Individual Tax} = \sum_{i=1}^{n}\left(\text{Income in Band}_i \times \text{Rate}_i\right) \]
Corporate income tax
\[ \text{Corporate Tax} = \text{Chargeable Income} \times 17\% - \text{Rebates/Credits} \]
GST on tax-exclusive price
\[ \text{GST} = \text{Price Before GST} \times 9\% \]
\[ \text{Price Including GST} = \text{Price Before GST} + \text{GST} \]
Reverse GST from tax-inclusive price
\[ \text{Price Before GST} = \frac{\text{GST-Inclusive Price}}{1.09} \]
\[ \text{GST} = \text{GST-Inclusive Price} - \text{Price Before GST} \]
Net GST payable
\[ \text{Net GST} = \text{Output GST} - \text{Input GST Claimable} \]
Property tax
\[ \text{Property Tax} = \text{Annual Value} \times \text{Applicable Property Tax Rate} \]
Residential owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied properties use progressive rates. Non-residential properties are generally taxed at 10% of Annual Value.
Stamp duty concept
\[ \text{Stamp Duty} = f(\text{Market Value or Consideration}, \text{Duty Type}, \text{Buyer/Seller Profile}, \text{Holding Period}) \]
Withholding tax
\[ \text{WHT} = \text{Gross Payment to Non-Resident} \times \text{Applicable WHT Rate} \]
Carbon tax
\[ \text{Carbon Tax} = \text{Reckonable Emissions in tCO_2e} \times \text{Carbon Tax Rate} \]
For emissions years 2026 and 2027, the carbon tax rate is S$45 per tCO₂e.
CPF contribution concept
\[ \text{CPF Contribution} = \text{CPF Wage Base} \times \text{Applicable CPF Rate} \]
Skills Development Levy
\[ \text{SDL per Employee} = \min(\max(\text{Monthly Wages} \times 0.25\%, 2), 11.25) \]
Customs duty
\[ \text{Duty} = \text{Customs Value} \times \text{Ad Valorem Rate} \]
\[ \text{Duty} = \text{Quantity} \times \text{Specific Rate} \]
Vehicle ARF
\[ \text{ARF} = \sum_{i=1}^{n}(\text{OMV Band}_i \times \text{ARF Rate}_i) \]

Open Tax Calculators HubHow to Build a Singapore Tax Compliance Calendar
Singapore tax compliance is easier when you separate personal, company, GST, property, payroll, import, carbon and transaction-triggered dates.
- Identify the taxpayer profile. Classify the taxpayer as employee, sole proprietor, company, GST registrant, property owner, employer, importer, carbon-tax facility, casino/gambling operator, or property buyer.
- Map annual personal dates. Add 1 March to 18 April for individual income tax filing and note that payment is due within one month from tax bill unless GIRO applies.
- Map company dates. Add ECI within three months after financial year-end and Form C-S/Form C by 30 November.
- Map GST periods. Add one month after every GST accounting period for GST F5/F8 filing and payment.
- Map employer payroll obligations. Add AIS by 1 March, CPF month-end due date, CPF enforcement after 14th of the next month, SDL with CPF, and FWL by 17th of the next month.
- Map property and stamp-duty dates. Add property tax by 31 January, stamp duty within 14 days for Singapore-signed documents and 30 days for overseas-signed documents received in Singapore.
- Map import and excise dates. Customs duty, excise duty and import GST are triggered at import, permit or release for local consumption.
- Map carbon tax dates. Facilities should prepare verified emissions reports by 30 June and plan tax liability by 30 September after the reporting period.
- Store proof. Keep myTax Portal acknowledgements, GST submissions, IRAS tax bills, CPF records, MOM levy bills, customs permits, LTA receipts, NEA reports and bank payment confirmations.
Common Singapore Tax Mistakes to Avoid
Confusing GST with income tax
GST is a transaction tax collected from customers. Income tax is based on profit or personal income. Filing one does not settle the other.
Missing ECI because no profit was expected
Companies must assess whether they qualify for ECI waiver. Loss-making status alone is not the same as automatic compliance.
Forgetting stamp duty clock
Property, share and lease documents may need stamping within 14 days or 30 days depending on where the document was signed.
Thinking Singapore has no tax at all
Singapore has no general capital gains tax and no estate duty for deaths from 15 February 2008, but GST, property tax, stamp duties and business taxes still apply.
Using the 14th as CPF due date
CPF is due by the last day of the calendar month. The 14th of the following month is the enforcement threshold.
Ignoring Annual Value for property tax
Singapore property tax is calculated on Annual Value, not on actual rental income or purchase price.
