Tax Treatment of Foreign-Sourced Income 境外收入的税收处理
In Singapore, taxes are imposed on income earned or accrued in Singapore, as well as foreign-sourced income remitted into Singapore. The Government has received feedback that while a company may qualify for foreign tax credit to offset the taxes payable on remitted foreign-sourced income, it may find the tax credit system administratively cumbersome. 在新加坡，对在新加坡赚取或累算的收入以及汇往新加坡的外国收入征税。政府收到的反馈是，虽然一家公司可能有资格申请外国税收抵免，以抵消其在国外汇入的收入所应缴纳的税款，但它可能会发现税收抵免制度在行政上很麻烦。
The Government has therefore introduced the foreign-sourced income exemption regime (FSIE) as a simplified regime mirroring the foreign tax credit system. 因此，政府引入了外国来源的收入豁免制度(FSIE)，作为一个简化的制度，反映了外国税收抵免制度。
FSIE – Section 13(8) of the Income Tax Act 《所得税法案》第13(8)条
Under the FSIE regime, the Government announced that foreign-sourced dividends, branch profits and service income (collectively “specified foreign-sourced income”) derived by any person resident in Singapore will be exempted from tax if the following conditions are met: 在FSIE制度下，政府宣布，任何居住在新加坡的个人取得的外国来源股息、分行利润和服务收入(统称“指定外国来源收入”)，如符合下列条件，可获豁免缴税:
i. the specified foreign-sourced income has been subjected to tax in the foreign jurisdiction from which the income is received; (一)指定的境外所得，在境外取得的;
ii. the headline tax rate of the foreign jurisdiction from which the specified foreign-sourced income is received is at least 15%; and (二)指定的境外收入来源所在境外管辖区的总体税率至少为15%;和
iii. the Comptroller is satisfied that the tax exemption would be beneficial to the person resident in Singapore. (三)主计长认为免税对居住在新加坡的人有利。
FSIE – Section 13(12) of the Income Tax Act FSIE -《所得税法案》第13(12)条
Where the above conditions cannot be met, tax exemption may be granted under section 13(12) of the Income Tax Act on foreign-sourced income which falls within the scenarios specified in the IRAS e-tax guide on “Income Tax: Tax Exemption under Section 13(12) for Specified Scenarios, Real Estate Investment Trusts and Qualifying Offshore Infrastructure Project/Asset”. 在上述条件不能满足,免税授予下一节13(12)的所得税法对来源于外国收入属于场景中指定ira e-tax指南”所得税:免税部分13(12)为指定的场景下,房地产投资信托和排位赛海上基础设施项目/资产”。
Applications for tax exemption under section 13(12) on the foreign-sourced income which do not fall within the scenarios can be made to the Ministry of Finance before the foreign income is received in Singapore. 根据第13(12)条，外国来源的收入如不属于上述情况，可在外国收入在新加坡收到之前，向财政部提出免税申请。

Foreign Tax Credit Pooling 国外税收抵免联营
The Government has also introduced foreign tax credit pooling, provided that the following conditions are met: 政府还引入了国外税收抵免池，前提是满足以下条件:
i. income tax is paid on the income in the foreign jurisdiction from which the income is derived; (一)所得是在外国境内取得的;
ii. the headline tax rate of the foreign jurisdiction from which the income is received is at least 15% at the time the foreign income is received in Singapore; and 二世。在新加坡收到境外收入时，境外收入所在管辖区的总体税率至少为15%;和
iii. there is Singapore income tax payable on the foreign income and the taxpayer is entitled to claim for foreign tax credit under the Income Tax Act. 三世。根据《所得税法》，外国所得需缴纳新加坡所得税，纳税人有权申请外国税收抵免。
