Parliamentary Reply by Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister for Finance Mr Lawrence Wong:

There have been requests from members for different types of information on corporate tax on several occasions since last year. Each new permutation of data request requires intensive effort to compile. The Government already publishes extensive data on corporate tax, which is publicly available on www.data.gov.sg. This includes data that can be used to estimate the overall effective tax rate for companies in each of the published chargeable income band. We suggest that Ms Hazel Poa refer to the website to access the necessary data.
