Capital Gains
As of January 1, 2024, Singapore does not have a capital gains tax. This means that gains from the sale of assets like property, shares, financial instruments, and even digital tokens are generally not subject to income tax. This policy makes Singapore an attractive destination for investments and long-term wealth building.
Here are some key points to remember:
Non-taxable gains:
Gains from selling a property in Singapore are considered capital gains and are not taxable.
Profits or losses from buying and selling shares or other financial instruments (including digital tokens) are typically viewed as personal investments and are not taxed.
Payouts from insurance policies are also capital receipts and are not taxable.
Exceptions:
Gains from "trading in properties" (repeated buying and selling within a short period) might be considered taxable income, depending on the specific circumstances.
Gains from other activities deemed business in nature (e.g., frequent buying and selling of digital tokens) might also be taxable.
