Too early to say how landmark G-7 corporate tax deal will impact Singapore: minister


Trust, reliability and integrity are ultimately what makes Singapore an attractive place for substantial economic activities. - ST

SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): It is too early to say how the global corporate tax rule changes proposed by the Group of Seven (G-7) will impact Singapore, but the Republic's overall competitiveness has never been based on taxation alone, Finance Minister Lawrence Wong said on Tuesday (June 8).

In a Facebook post, Wong also said that Singapore will change its corporate tax system after a global consensus is reached on the new international rules. Any tax changes would be in close consultation with businesses and tax professionals here, he added.
