The tax position in Singapore is clear: 17% headline corporate tax with partial exemptions for new companies, no capital gains tax and no dividend withholding tax. Car Rental & Leasing in Singapore means renting and leasing vehicles to tourists, residents and corporate fleets, and it is licensed as a commercial activity. Just as important, car rental is a mainland activity regulated by the RTA in Dubai and traffic departments elsewhere, with minimum fleet sizes and a dedicated parking yard. Vehicles are registered under the company with commercial insurance.
