Qualifying for Tax Exemption
Income derived by a non-resident arbitrator for arbitration work carried out in Singapore for the period from 3 May 2002 to 31 March 2022 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.
