Singapore GST (Goods and Service Tax)

2011-10-30T05:53:00.005-07:00

The standard GST rate in Singapore is 7%. The exportation of goods and
the provision of international services are zero-rated. The sale and
rental of residential properties and specified financial services are
exempt from GST.

Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a broad base consumption tax aimed at
taxing the final consumer of the goods and services. The supply of
goods and services made in the ordinary course of business in
Singapore by a GST registered person is subject to GST. The
importation of goods into Singapore is also subject to GST.

Persons carrying on businesses making taxable supplies are required to
register for GST if their annual turnover (retroactive or prospective)
is more than S$1m. A GST registered person (GST taxpayer) has to
charge GST on his supplies (Output GST) and pay GST on his purchases
(Input GST). The GST taxpayer has to file a monthly or quarterly GST
return to declare the Output GST collected and the Input GST incurred.
He will pay (or claim) the difference (after netting the Output GST
against the Input GST) together with the GST return.

GST Registration – A person is required to be registered if the total
annual value of his/ her taxable supplies exceeds SGD 1 million.
Companies may apply for voluntary registration even if turnover is
less than SGD 1 million. However, once registered, the taxpayer must
remain registered for at least 2 years.

Filing and payment of GST – A registered taxable person is required to
furnish a tax return to the Comptroller not later than 1 month after
the end of each 3-month accounting period. The amount of tax payable
for the accounting period to which the return relates should be made
together with the submission of the tax return.

Singapore Corporate Income Tax

2011-10-30T05:53:00.003-07:00

The standard corporate tax rate in Singapore is 17%.

A partial tax exemption is given on first S$300,000 of the chargeable
income (CI). Under this scheme, 75% of the first S$10,000 of CI is tax
exempt and 50% of the next S$290,000 of CI is tax exempt:

Income Exemption Exempt amount
First $10,000 @ 75% $7,500
Next $290,000 @ 50% $145,000
Total $300,000 $152,500

The exemption does not apply to Singapore dividends received by
companies enjoying a concessionary tax rate granted by a tax incentive
and income of a non-resident company subject to a final withholding
tax rate.

Qualifying newly Singapore-incorporated companies may enjoy a separate
tax exemption scheme for its first three consecutive years of
assessment. This scheme allows qualifying new companies to enjoy a tax
exemption on the first S$100,000 of CI and on 50% of the next
S$200,000 of CI:

Income Exemption Exempt amount
First $100,000 @ 100% $100,000
Next $200,000 @ 50% $100,000
Total $300,000 $200,000

Resident and non-resident companies are taxed on income accruing in or
derived from Singapore as well as on foreign income remitted (actual
or deemed) into Singapore. Remittance of foreign income (dividends,
branch profits, services income) may be tax exempt when remitted by a
resident company under certain conditions. A company is tax resident
in Singapore if the management and control of its business is
exercised in Singapore.

The tax year, referred to as the year of assessment (YA), runs from 1
January to 31 December of each year. Income for the YA is computed
based on the income derived in the preceding calendar year (known as
the basis year) from all sources. For a trade, business, profession or
vocation with a non-31 December accounting year end, the Inland
Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) normally accepts the accounting
year as the basis year instead of the calendar year. Under such
circumstances, tax is assessed for each YA on the income for the
accounting year preceding that YA.

A company is required to provide an estimate of its CI within three
months after the end of its financial year. The estimated tax payable
can be paid via instalments. The number of instalments available
depends on when the estimated CI is filed within the three-month
window period and on the method of filing. The annual corporate income
tax return must be filed by 30 November of the YA. After the
submission of the tax return, IRAS will issue a notice of assessment
to collect any tax shortfall. The tax payment has to be paid within
one month after the date of issue of the notice of assessment.

STAMP DUTY

Stamp duty is levied on legal instruments relating to the sale,
mortgage or lease of immovable property and the sale or mortgage of
stocks and shares.

DETERMINATION OF TAXABLE INCOME

Singapore-incorporated companies are required to prepare their
financial accounts according to Singapore Financial Reporting
Standards (FRSs). The FRSs are closely modelled on the International
Accounting Standards (IAS) and International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board (IASB). The accounting profits are adjusted in accordance with
Singapore tax rules to arrive at the taxable income.

Companies are required under FRS to prepare their financial accounts
according to their functional currency. Those with non-Singapore
dollar functional currency accounts are required to furnish their tax
computations to the IRAS in that functional currency. Expenses must be
incurred wholly and exclusively for the production of income in order
to be tax deductible unless specifically disallowed or restricted
(e.g. noncommercial motor vehicles, medical expenses, expenses of a
capital nature). Special rules apply to expenses incurred by
investment holding companies, companies that commence business
activities during the financial year and expenses incurred in respect
of foreign sourced income.

INTEREST DEDUCTIONS

Interest is deductible to the extent it relates to funds borrowed for
income-producing purposes. There are no thin capitalisation rules in
Singapore.

STOCK/INVENTORY

There is no prescribed valuation methodology under the domestic income
tax law. As such, IRAS will generally accept the valuation methodology
under FRS.

CAPITAL GAINS AND LOSSES

There is no separate capital gains tax regime in Singapore. Gains of a
capital nature are not subject to income tax. Similarly, expenses of a
capital nature are not deductible for income tax purposes. IRAS will
look at the facts and circumstances of the transaction to determine
whether the gain is capital in nature or a trading gain which is
subject to income tax.

DIVIDENDS

Dividends paid by Singapore companies are exempt from tax in the hands
of the shareholder from 1 January 2008. Foreign sourced dividends
remitted into Singapore may be tax-exempt under certain circumstances.

CAPITAL ALLOWANCE

Capital allowances, instead of accounting depreciation, are granted
for plant and machinery acquired and used in a trade or business. Most
plant and machinery qualify for three-year straight line tax
depreciation. Low cost items (costing not more than S$1,000 per item)
may be tax depreciated in full, subject to a total claim of S$30,000
for each YA. Certain equipment (such as computers, automation
equipment, pollution-control equipment, energy-saving equipment) may
qualify for 100% tax depreciation in the year of acquisition.
Industrial buildings used for qualifying purposes can claim an initial
allowance of 25% plus an annual allowance of 3%.

Current year unused capital allowances can be carried back (up to a
total of S$100,000 for both unused capital allowances and unused tax
losses) to the YA immediately preceding the YA in which the capital
allowance arose. The unused capital allowances can also be carried
forward indefinitely. The utilisation of unused capital allowances
carried back or carried forward is subject to the business continuity
test and the shareholding test. For the YA 2009 and YA 2010, the
unused capital allowances (together with unused losses) can be carried
back to the three YAs immediately preceding YA 2009 or YA 2010 and up
to a limit of S$200,000.

The business continuity test requires the business/trade for which the
capital allowances were granted to be carried on. The shareholding
test requires that there is no substantial change (no more than 50%)
in the ultimate shareholders and their respective shareholdings on
certain dates.

TAX LOSSES

Current year unused trade losses can be carried back (up to a total of
S$100,000 for both unused capital allowances and unused tax losses) to
the YA immediately preceding the YA in which the trade losses were
incurred up. The unused tax losses can also be carried forward
indefinitely. For the YA 2009 and YA 2010, the unused losses (together
with unused capital allowances) can be carried back to the three YAs
immediately preceding YA 2009 or YA 2010, as the case may be) and up
to a limit of S$200,000.

The carry back/forward of tax losses is subject to the same
shareholding test for the carry back/forward of unused capital
allowances.

TAX INCENTIVES

Singapore has a comprehensive list of tax incentives and development
schemes to attract investments and to assist investors in expanding
their businesses. Highlights of key incentives and schemes are
summarised below.

The Regional and International Headquarters Awards encourages
companies to use Singapore as a regional or global base. A customized
package of tax incentives (such as Pioneer Incentive, Development and
Expansion Incentive, Investment Allowances) and grants will be given
to qualifying companies.

The Pioneer Incentive encourages the introduction and growth of new
industries in Singapore. A pioneer enterprise is granted full income
tax exemption on its qualifying profits for up to 15 years.

Investors undertaking projects that will generate significant economic
benefits for Singapore may apply for the Development and Expansion
Incentive. The incentive provides preferential income tax rates on all
qualifying profits above a pre-determined base, for a set period.

Companies investing into new equipment that introduces new technology
to the industry or contributes to its efficiency can apply for
Investment Allowances. This is a capital allowance given to partially
offset the costs of acquiring qualifying equipment within a set period
and is in addition to the normal tax depreciation.

The Approved Royalties Incentive encourages companies to transfer
their cutting edge technology and knowhow to Singapore by providing
full or partial withholding tax exemption for royalty payments or
technical assistance fees payable to non-residents. Investors looking
into developing or bringing new R&D capabilities can apply for the
Research Incentive scheme. The project should result in an increase of
hiring and training of research scientists and engineers in Singapore.
The scheme provides grants to partially offset the R&D project costs
incurred for manpower training, equipment investment, intellectual
property management and professional services.

The Local Enterprise Finance Scheme (LEFS) is designed to assist and
encourage companies (with at least 30% local ownership) to upgrade and
expand their operations. LEFS loans are available for factories,
machinery and working capital.

The Local Enterprise Technical Assistance Scheme (LETAS) encourages
and assists companies (with at least 30% local ownership) in seeking
external expertise to improve their operations. Generally, assistance
provided is up to 50% of the cost of engaging an external expert to
implement quality management and IT systems (e.g. ISO certification,
upgrading computer systems).

FOREIGN TAX RELIEF

Under Singapore's network of 60 comprehensive double tax treaties,
Singapore will grant a tax credit for foreign tax suffered in the
treaty country. The tax credit granted is limited to the lower of the
foreign tax suffered and the Singapore tax payable on that income.
Singapore also grants a unilateral tax credit for certain income
derived from countries that have not entered into tax treaties with
Singapore.

CORPORATE GROUPS

A corporate group (comprising of a Singapore-incorporated holding
company and its Singapore-incorporated subsidiaries) can transfer
current-year unused losses, unused capital allowances and unused
donations within companies in the group. There is a 75% ownership
requirement that need to be maintained to remain within the group.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

IRAS issued transfer pricing guidelines for the first time in February
2006. The purpose of the guidelines is to give guidance on applying
the arm's length principle and the recommended preparation and
maintenance of documentation to demonstrate compliance with the arm's
length principle. In February 2009, IRAS issued a supplementary guide
to provide further guidance and application of the arm's length
principle to related party loans and related party services.

Singapore is now in the process of legislating the arm's length
principle for related party transactions in the domestic tax law. This
will give the IRAS the basis for making adjustments if it is of the
opinion that the arms length principle is not applied appropriately by
the taxpayer

WITHHOLDING TAX

Interest, fees, payments in connection with any loan or indebtedness: 15%
Royalty or other payment for the use of movable property: 10% (final tax)
Payment for the use or right to use scientific, technical, industrial
or commercial knowledge or information: 10% (final tax)
Technical assistance and service fees and management fees: Prevailing
corporate tax rate (20% for individuals)
Rent or other payments for the use of movable properties: 15% (final tax)

Malaysia sales tax / service tax

2011-10-30T05:48:00.001-07:00

Service tax and sales tax are currently the two major types of
consumption taxes imposed on certain prescribed goods and services.

The rate of Sales Tax: 5%-10%
The rate of Service tax: 5%.

The Malaysian government has intended to widen the scope of indirect
taxes by proposing to introduce Goods and Services Tax (GST). However,
this move has been put on hold indefinitely.

SERVICE TAX

Service tax is a single stage tax applicable to certain prescribed
goods and services in Malaysia. The tax also applies to professional
and consultancy services as prescribed by the Malaysian customs
authorities. The rate of service tax currently is fixed at 5% of the
price, charge, or premium of the taxable goods or services prescribed.

Professional services provided by a company to companies within the
same group will be exempted from service tax, subject to terms and
conditions.

Generally, the imposition of service tax is subject to a specific
threshold based on an annual turnover ranging from RM150,000 to
RM500,000, subject to the types of taxable services and taxable
person. The threshold would not apply for certain prescribed
professional and consultancy services.

It is proposed that with effect from 1 January 2010, service tax be
imposed on credit cards and charge cards including those issued free
of charge as follows:
- RM50 per year on the principal card
- RM25 per year on the supplementary cards.

SALES TAX

Sales tax is a single stage tax imposed on taxable goods manufactured
locally and/or imported. "Taxable goods" means goods of a class or
kind not for the time being exempted from sales tax. Generally, all
exports are exempted from sales tax.

Manufacturers of taxable goods are required to register with the
custom authorities and to levy, charge and collect the tax from their
customers. For imported goods, sales tax is collected from the
importer upon the release of taxable goods from customs control.

Sales tax is an ad valorem and can be computed based on the value of taxable
goods sold, used, disposed of, or imported.

Sales tax is imposed on certain imported and locally manufactured
goods under the Sales Tax Act 1972. The tax rate ranges from 5 - 10%
for majority of the goods except for food preparations other than
alcoholic and non-alcoholic compound preparations (other than those of
heading No. 33.02) used for making beverages. Sales tax is also
imposed on petroleum and petroleum products according to specific
rates.

transaction documents.

Indonesia VAT rates

2011-10-27T03:48:00.001-07:00

The standard rate of VAT in Indonesia is 10%.

VAT at the general rate of 10% is imposed on importers, manufacturers,
wholesalers and retails and on the provision of most services. While
the VAT laws permit amendments of the rates for individual items,
currently the products with a rate other than 10% are cigarettes and
used cars. Services such as package deliveries and travel agents are
taxed at 1%, while factoring is imposed at 5% on the fees received.

Exports are effectively excluded from VAT by being subject to a zero tax rate.

VAT is payable by the 15th of the month following the relevant
transaction. Monthly tax returns must be submitted by the 20th of the
following month. In the case of certain services rendered by
non-residents of Indonesia, the recipient of these services has an
obligation to self-assess, report and pay import VAT by the 15th of
the following month.

Corporate Income Tax Rate in Indonesia

2011-10-27T03:47:00.001-07:00

Indonesia company tax rate is 25%.

A company will be considered taxable in Indonesia if it has a presence
and conducts business in that country. Resolution of this question
depends on whether the entity has a 'permanent establishment' in
Indonesia. This term is widely defined to include a place of
management, branch, representative office, office building, agent,
factory or workshop, construction or mining site. Where such a
presence exists, the permanent establishment is taxable on its
worldwide income. Where similar businesses as that carried on by the
permanent establishment are conducted in Indonesia, care must be taken
to ensure that the 'force of attraction' principle does not result in
that business income being taxed in the permanent establishment.

Company tax is payable by monthly instalments. The collection of tax
from interest, royalties, rentals and dividends, professional service
fees, technical and management service fees, construction service
fees, installation service fees, repair and maintenance service fees
is by way of withholding tax. Where the recipient is a tax resident of
Indonesia, the tax withheld is taken into account in determining the
company's final tax liability (except for tax of interest from bank
and space rentals which are treated as final tax). Where the recipient
is not a resident, the tax withheld represents a final tax.

Under the Income Tax Law No. 36 Year 2008, which took effect from 1
January 2010, corporations are taxed at single rate of 25%.
Corporations with an annual gross income up to Rp 50 billion are
entitled to a tax discount of 50% of the standard rate on taxable
income derived from the portion of gross income up to Rp 4.8 billion.

As for public companies, corporate tax deduction at 5% will be granted
when meeting the following requirements:
1. Minimum listing requirement is 40%
2. The minimum public ownership is 300 individuals where each
individual holds less than five percent of the paid-in shares
3. The above two conditions must be fulfilled at least in six months
(183 days) in a tax year.

Residence – A company is a resident if it is established or domiciled
in Indonesia.

Basis – Resident companies are taxed on worldwide income. Nonresident
companies are taxed only on income sourced in Indonesia, including
income attributable to permanent establishments in the country.

Taxable income – Taxable net income is defined as assessable income
less taxdeductible expenses.

Taxation of dividends – Dividends paid by a domestic corporate
taxpayer to a resident are subject to a 15% withholding tax and the
payment represents an advance payment of tax liability. See also
"Participation exemption".

Capital gains – Capital gains are taxable as ordinary income, and
capital losses are taxdeductible.

Losses – Losses may be carried forward for 5 years following the year
the loss was incurred (this period may be extended to 10 years for
selected industries and for operations in remote areas). Losses cannot
be carried back.

Surtax – No
Alternative minimum tax – No

Foreign tax credit – Resident companies deriving income from foreign
sources are entitled to a unilateral tax credit with respect to
foreign tax paid on the income. The credit is limited to the amount of
Indonesian tax otherwise payable on the relevant foreign income.

Participation exemption – Dividends received or derived by a resident
company from a participation in another Indonesian limited liability
company are exempt from tax if the recipient holds at least 25% of the
shares of the payor and the dividends are from retained earnings.

Holding company regime – No

Tax Incentives – Tax incentives are available to entities with capital
investments in certain approved industry sectors, or those operating
in certain geographic locations. Incentives include a 30% tax
investment allowance (5% per year), accelerated depreciation, the
carryforward of losses up to 10 years and a reduced withholding tax of
10% on dividends paid to nonresidents. An income tax reduction of 5%
may be available to companies listed on the Indonesian stock exchange
if certain conditions are satisfied.

Withholding tax:

Dividends – Dividends paid by a domestic corporate taxpayer to a
nonresident are subject to a 20% withholding tax, which is considered
a final tax. Tax treaties may reduce the rate, but to take advantage
of a reduced rate, the payee must obtain a certificate of tax domicile
from the tax authorities in its country of residence and be the
beneficial owner of the dividends. The withholding tax on dividends
paid to resident individuals is a 10% final tax.

Interest – Interest paid to nonresidents is subject to a 20%
withholding tax, unless the rate is reduced by an applicable tax
treaty. Interest paid by a domestic taxpayer to a resident is subject
to a 15% withholding tax and the payment represents an advance payment
of tax liability.

Royalties – A 20% withholding tax is imposed on royalties remitted
abroad, unless the rate is reduced under an applicable tax treaty and
the recipient submits a tax residence certificate from the tax
authorities of its country of residence. For tax purposes, royalties
refer to any charge for the use of property or know-how in Indonesia.

Royalties paid by a domestic taxpayer to a resident are subject to a
15% withholding tax and the payment represents an advance payment of
tax liability.

The withholding tax on domestic payments for technical, management and
consulting services and rentals (except for land and building rentals)
varies from 1.5% to 4.5%.

Branch profits tax – Permanent establishments are subject to a 20%
branch profits tax on after-tax profits. This rate may be reduced
under a tax treaty.

Other taxes on corporations:

Capital duty – No, but various registration fees apply.

Payroll tax – Employers are required to withhold, remit and report
income tax on employment income of their employees.

Real property tax – Land and building tax is payable annually on land,
buildings and permanent structures. The rate is typically not more
than 0.5% of the value of the property, although higher rates apply to
certain high-value housing and large estates.

Social security – Employers must contribute to Indonesia's social
security system if they employ 10 or more individuals or maintain a
payroll expense of IDR 1 million per month. The employer's
contribution rate for old-age compensation is 3.7%.

Stamp duty – Certain documents are subject to stamp duty at a nominal
amount of IDR 3,000 or IDR 6,000.

Transfer tax – A land and building transfer duty of 5% is payable when
a person or company obtains rights to land or a building with a value
greater than IDR 60 million. Certain exceptions/reductions apply,
including transfers in connection with a merger.

Other – Sales of shares listed on the Indonesian stock exchange are
subject to a final tax of 0.1% of the transaction value; an additional
tax of 0.5% applies to the share value of founder shares at the time
of an initial public offering.

Anti-avoidance rules:

Transfer pricing – Related party transactions or dealings with
affiliated companies (including profit-sharing by multinational
companies) must be carried out in a "commercially justifiable way" and
on an arm's length basis. Documentation is required.

Thin capitalisation – Indonesia does not have specific rules on thin
capitalisation, but the general law authorises the Ministry of Finance
to determine the debt-to-equity ratio of companies for tax calculation
purposes.

Controlled foreign companies – The Ministry of Finance is authorised
to determine when a dividend is deemed to be derived from a foreign
company established in countries where an Indonesian resident taxpayer
holds at least 50% of the paid-up capital of the foreign company or,
together with other resident taxpayers, holds at least 50% of the
paid-up capital. This applies only if the foreign company does not
trade its shares on the stock exchange. If no dividends are declared
or derived from the offshore company, the resident taxpayer must
calculate and report the deemed dividend in its tax return; otherwise,
the Ministry of Finance will do so. The dividend is deemed to be
derived either in the fourth month following the deadline for filing
the tax return in the offshore country or 7 months after the offshore
company's tax year ends if the country does not have a specific tax
filing deadline.

Disclosure requirements – Taxpayers must provide certain information
regarding their transfer pricing transactions with related parties in
an attachment to their annual tax returns. The information will be
maintained by the tax authorities and may be tested by tax auditors in
the course of a tax audit.

Administration and compliance:

Tax year – The tax year is generally the calendar year. A corporate
taxpayer can elect to file a corporate tax return based on the book
year.

Consolidated tax returns – Consolidated returns are not permitted;
each company must file a separate return.

Tax Filing requirements – Tax collection operates under a
self-assessment system, with tax due on the 15th day of the calendar
month following the tax-assessment month. Tax returns (as opposed to
actual tax payment) must be filed by the 20th of the following month.
Annual corporate tax returns must be filed within 4 months of the end
of the book year, and annual employment income tax returns (filed by
the employer) must be filed by 31 March of the following year.

Penalties – Penalties vary depending on the situation, such as late
tax payment, late filing, tax underpayment and voluntary amendment of
returns. The most common penalty is 2% monthly interest on the tax
underpaid.

Rulings – The Minister of Finance and the Director General of Taxation
may issue rulings in certain cases, such as the determination of
debt-to-equity ratios or the tax effects of a proposed transaction.

One of article which has been amended is Article 7 about Non Taxable Income or Personal Exemption or widely known as PTKP.The basic non taxable income for individual taxpayer is changed from Rp13.200.000,00 to Rp15.840.000,00.

.

Example:In beginning of 2009, Taxpayer Ahmad has a wife and 4 (four) dependent children. If his wife has income from an employer who has withheld income tax under Article 21 and the employment has no relationship to the business of her husband or other members of the family, the non-taxable income of Taxpayer Ahmad is Rp21,120,000.00 i.e. Rp15,840,000.00 + Rp1,320,000.00 + (3 x Rp1,320,000.00).

General Taxation Summary In Indonesia

2009-03-20T23:54:00.000-07:00

This topics is to briefly discussing the calculation of general rule of tax in Indonesia:

Indonesia operates a self-assessment taxation system which is similar to many other countries, this will be based on trust for tax payer to report their taxes. Only at some cases there will be audit conducted to check on the self-assesment result i.e. when tax payers admitting tax overpayment or loss result in their business.
Tarrif is progressive to highest of 30% from the taxable income for corporate (3 layers)
Tarrif is progressive to highest of 35% from the taxable income for individual tax (5 layers).
For corporate tax : To calculate taxable income you have to review your expenses as not all expenses are deductible as per tax regulation. eg. benefit in kind (eg. apartment provided for expatriates, car expenses for personal for expatriate or local etc). This is not apply to individuals, no expenses need to be kept and reported as the non taxable income is fixed on yearly basis as per tax regulation.
Anything received in cash or allowances should be considered as additional income to employee, but as this considered as allowance then the principle of taxable (in employee personal tax) and deductible (in company income tax) applies.
Some examples of non deductible expenses (for corporate tax):
- Benefit in kind - something that is given to anyone not as allowance (cash) but as benefit. This applies to any benefit that company pays on behallf of the employee, eg apartment rent, car rent, etc
-Any tax penalties or other tax (not in form of tax allowances) is not operating expenses per tax.
-Any vacation, airfaires for family (not paid in cash / not allowance)
-Any other benefit that no treated as allowance or given not in cash, eg. staff insurance cost.
Anyone whether a company or personal must pay tax installment (article 25-tax regulation), the installment is based on your previous year tax divided by 12 months. This assuming business model whereby anyones income will not be lessed than previous year. Taken into account (excluding any IRREGULAR income).
Some services subject to withholding tax article 23, so if you pay suppliers or a suppliers of the positive list of service this withholding tax applies. eg. consultant fee subject to this tax, if you are a consultant, the party paying you will withhold tax of 15% x net income estimation as per Tax Circular Letter of Director General of Taxation. This changes from time to time.
Indonesia has Tax Treaties with some countries. Tax Treaty is agreement between countries on how or what to tax or not to tax on some income to avoid double tax on the same subject. This is created as General Priciple of Tax is applies to any revenue/income generated from any source (meaning from anywhere in the word as well)
How does this tax treaty works? To get benefit of this tax treaty the suppliers (income generator) must provide evidence from their respective Competent Authority - normally tax office where they are registered - a document called Certificate of Domicile. Without this document the payers should withhold 20% from the gross invoice amount of the service vendor, or if having the document at a lower % depend on the tax treaty. eg. 20% applies to all income paid to overseas service vendor, but should be lower to 15%/10% at some Tax Treaties if the document provided. Will be RISKY for the payer to just lower it down the % of tax without having the document because address of the vendor is not HARD evidence that they are resident in the country of their residence.
