Partial Tax Exemption Scheme for Companies in Singapore
The Partial Tax Exemption Scheme (PTES) is a government initiative in Singapore that aims to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by reducing their tax burden. Here's a breakdown of the scheme:
Eligibility:
All companies registered in Singapore are eligible for PTES, except those claiming the Tax Exemption Scheme for New Start-Up Companies.
Companies limited by guarantee are also included.
Exemption Tiers:
75% exemption on the first S$10,000 of your normal chargeable income.
50% exemption on the next S$190,000 of your normal chargeable income.
Important Notes:
This scheme applies to normal chargeable income, which is your taxable income after deducting allowable expenses and claims.
Concessionary income taxed at a lower rate (e.g., 10%) does not qualify for PTES exemption.
The revised PTES came into effect for Year of Assessment (YA) 2020 onwards.

Additional Information:
While PTES offers tax relief, it's crucial to remember your overall tax obligations. Consulting a tax professional is recommended for personalized advice based on your specific circumstances.
