Expert’s opinion

	


Recently, Singapore is seriously undertaken for the simplification of tax procedures and increase in volume of agreements on avoidance of double taxation.

 

 
  

 

 

Only for last three months, Singapore concluded 2 of such agreements (with the Isle of man and, accordingly, Jersey), signed 4 of the Protocol to such agreements (with Italy, Bahrain, Vietnam and Canada), and also ratified the Agreement with Switzerland, which in August entered into

 

force.

 

 
  

 

 

It should be noted that Singapore is trying to create the most favorable conditions for establishing and operating business on the international scale and concludes only very profitable for itself and employers contracts.
