How SUTE and PTE work

SUTE — first 3 YAs

The Start-Up Tax Exemption exempts 75% of your first S$100,000 of chargeable income and 50% of the next S$100,000. It applies for your first three Years of Assessment only.

PTE — from YA 4 (or YA 1)

Partial Tax Exemption applies to all Singapore companies. It exempts 75% of the first S$10,000 and 50% of the next S$190,000 — less generous than SUTE, but still significant.

Year of Assessment (YA)

A YA refers to the year in which income is assessed. Your first YA is typically the calendar year after your company's financial year end. IRAS determines which regime applies each YA.

No application needed

SUTE is granted automatically by IRAS when you file your company's income tax return (Form C-S or Form C), provided you meet the eligibility criteria. There is no separate application form.
