Replay of the AIMA Singapore Webinar on New Singapore-India DTA

New Singapore-India DTA Presentation – Feb 2017

Singapore and India recently signed a protocol to revise their Avoidance of Double Taxation Agreement (DTA). In our APAC newsletter (June 2016 – here) we noted changes made to the India-Mauritius tax treaty and the direct implications for Singapore tax residents, about which we have been in contact with the Singapore Ministry of Finance, Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore and the Monetary Authority of Singapore to explore what steps could be taken to counter their effect. 

The updated DTA preserves the existing tax exemption on capital gains for shares acquired before 1 April 2017, while providing a two year transitional arrangement for shares acquired on or after 1 April 2017, so that capital gains will be taxed at 50% of India’s domestic tax rate if the capital gains arise from the disposal of such shares during 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2019.

Hear from our panel as they provide an overview of the changes and analyse the implications for the alternative asset management industry.
