- A company whose principal activity is that of investment holding; and 主要业务为投资控股的公司；以及
- A company which undertakes property development for sale, for investment, or for both investment and sale. 从事房地产开发以供出售、投资或投资销售的公司。
To qualify for tax exemption for start-ups, eligible companies must satisfy these three qualifying conditions: 要获得初创企业免税资格，符合条件的公司必须满足以下三个条件：
- The company must be incorporated in Singapore; 公司必须在新加坡注册成立；
- The company must be a tax resident in Singapore for that YA; 公司必须是新加坡的税务居民；
- The company’s total share capital is beneficially held directly by no more than 20 shareholders throughout the basis period for that YA where: 公司的总股本在整个基期内由不超过20名股东直接实益持有，其中：

Determining the First YA of a Qualifying Company 确定符合条件的公司的第一个评税年度
The exemption is for the company’s first three consecutive YAs. The first YA is the YA relating to the basis period during which the company is incorporated. 该豁免是针对公司前三个连续的评税年度（YA）。第一个YA是与公司成立的基期相关的YA。
The first YA of a company depends on the financial year end chosen and the closing date of the first set of accounts. Hence, the first YA of a company may be different from another company that is incorporated on the same day. 公司的第一个评税年度取决于选择的财政年度末和第一套账目的结账日期。因此，一家公司的第一个YA可能与同一天成立的另一家公司不同。
