WhatsApp quoteThe 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. Many of our clients add a Singapore entity to their UAE structure because a Singapore holding company above a UAE operating entity is a classic structure for Asia-Gulf groups. Typical examples of this activity include exhibition organiser, wedding planner, conference management and brand activations, which can usually sit together on one Singapore licence. GoldenKey has licensed event management company businesses for customers in Singapore and knows which sub-activities to list so you are not asked to amend the licence later.

GoldenKey works with licensed corporate service providers in Singapore and remains your single point of contact throughout. For event management, Singapore offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.
