Tax and residence in the

Singapore

Singapore Basics

Singapore could be regarded as the best of both worlds. A taste of the East and the tropics with the vibrant street life . But also a modern developed and heavily regulated land. More so that almost any other on the planet. Great if you like that sort of thing. Big downside for anyone who drinks heavily (Who? Us Brits?) is the cost of alcohol especially in clubs and bars. Well the cost of everything means it's a good option only for those for middling deep pockets.
