DTA-CTR-02
Question from client:
Under what circumstances do I need to apply for a Certificate of Singapore tax residence?

Answer from Evershine RD:
If you earn foreign income, you may be subject to tax in that foreign country/region.
However, you may claim tax benefits if there is a DTA between Singapore and the foreign country/region.
To enjoy the tax benefits, you need to submit a COR to the foreign tax authority to prove that you are a Singapore tax resident.
