Generally, a GST-registered business is required to account for output tax based on the consideration it receives when selling its business assets (including disposal of or transfer of asset to another party with consideration received). Similarly, the GST-registered business is also required to account for output tax when it disposes of, transfers or gives away its business assets for free and these assets still have market value, unless the cost of the asset is not more than $200 or no credit for input tax was allowed on the purchase/import of the assets.
In today's increasingly fierce global business competition, enterprises are constantly seeking more favourable development environments. Singapore, with its stable political environment, low-tax policies, sound legal system, and highly internationalized financial system, has become one of the most attractive destinations for company registration in Asia.
