Comparison of Foreign Companies Setup in Singapore PDF Download
1. Subsidiary Company
A subsidiary company is a private limited company incorporated in Singapore with the parent company as its shareholder. A subsidiary company is incorporated in Singapore as a limited liability company, which is a separate legal identity. The foreign company’s liability is limited to the value of the shares it subscribes into the subsidiary. The foreign parent company may own 100% of the subsidiary’s shares. The subsidiary company is also entitled to local tax incentives (e.g. newly incorporated companies pay zero tax on the first S$100,000 of chargeable income for the first 3 consecutive years). For small to medium-sized foreign businesses, a subsidiary company is the preferred choice of registration in Singapore.

2. Branch Office
A branch office is registered in Singapore as an extension of its parent company and not as a separately incorporated entity. The liabilities of a branch office extend to its parent company. It is considered a non-resident company for tax purposes. Hence, it is not eligible for tax incentives commonly available for new start-up resident companies.
