WhatsApp quoteMany 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. 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. Serbia and the UAE have strong investment ties, especially in agriculture, real estate and aviation, which gives Serbian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Singapore licence is released. Crucially, the most common businesses Serbians open through GoldenKey are in IT and software, construction, agriculture exports and hospitality, although Singapore supports almost any activity.
Why Singapore
Reasons founders choose Singapore include asia's most trusted jurisdiction, strong banks and fintech ecosystem, 80+ double tax treaties and english-language common law. Put simply, requirements for a Singapore company are at least one resident director (GoldenKey arranges a nominee), a company secretary within six months and a registered Singapore address. GoldenKey has prepared Singapore files for Serbian clients in IT and software, construction, agriculture exports and hospitality, which means we know which Serbia documents need attestation and which can be submitted as plain copies.

Frequently asked questions
Can my UAE company own the Singapore company?
Yes. A UAE free zone or mainland company can be the shareholder, which is a common structure for groups operating in both markets.
How does Singapore compare with a UAE free zone?
Each serves different markets. GoldenKey generally recommends the UAE as the operating base and Singapore where you have customers, suppliers or treaty benefits there.
What are the annual obligations for a Singapore company?
Day to day, annual returns, accounts and tax filings vary by jurisdiction; GoldenKey provides a compliance calendar and local accounting support.
Can a Serbian citizen own 100% of a company in Singapore?
Yes. Serbians can own the full share capital of a Singapore company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Is there a double taxation agreement between Serbia and the UAE?
Absolutely. The UAE and Serbia have a double taxation agreement, and a UAE tax residency certificate lets you claim treaty relief on qualifying income. GoldenKey can obtain the certificate once your company is established.
