Benefits of using accounting services in Singapore

I am very fond of the accounting services offered in Singapore. The Singaporean banking system is great for people who want to open an offshore account or want to open an account for conducting international business.

Singapore has a very fair banking system, and treats both local and foreign investors who want to open an account equally. It even allows 100 percent foreign ownership of a business. It is also considered as one of the safest options available for money transactions today.

Singapore has a very well-organized taxation rates, high global reputation and banking laws; it also has one of the lowest tax rates among Asian countries. No tax is imposed on financial profit made by foreign investors. Due to these factors, many companies are keen to invest in Singapore. Here are some of the major reasons why:

• Singapore has a healthy economy and a stable government.
• Singapore’s incorporation laws allow companies to be set up within an hour, provided all the paperwork is valid.
• Singapore does not impose taxes on foreign investors.
• Singapore imposes a flat tax rate of 17 % on corporate profits. But exemptions are allowed up to a profit of 30,000 dollars; as a result, the tax amount greatly decreases.
• It is easy to get visa for Singapore hence the company can afford to recruit foreign employees easily to work in the company.
• Singapore is a very developed country. It offers a standard of living which is similar to most of the western countries. As a result foreign investors find it easy to relocate to Singapore.
