Income derived by a non-resident arbitrator for arbitration work carried out in Singapore will be exempt from tax.
The tax exemption is applicable to all non-resident arbitrators who are appointed for any arbitration which is governed by the Arbitration Act or the International Arbitration Act or would have been governed by either of those Acts had the place of arbitration been in Singapore.
For the purposes of this tax exemption, SIAC (Singapore International Arbitration Centre) will assist in determining whether a non-resident individual is an arbitrator engaged in arbitration work in Singapore. For enquiries, please call SIAC at Tel: 6334 1277.
