About

Provided by Allen & Gledhill LLP

Our Tax Practice provides advice on all areas of Singapore tax, with particular focus on tax advisory, structuring and planning services for major corporate and institutional clients, and on the resolution of tax issues, controversies and disputes with the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS).

In addition to advising clients involved in tax disputes with IRAS, we also regularly seek advance rulings and/or clearances from IRAS in relation to proposed schemes or transactions to be undertaken. Our Practice has varied and extensive experience in advising on a broad range of tax matters, including complex legal, commercial and financial arrangements. Furthermore, we advise the wealth management groups of financial institutions, as well as ultra high net worth individuals and families. We provide full legal support to ultra high net worth families by providing full legal advice on corporate, litigation, family issues, tax, trust and probate matters.

We provide advice to local and multinational companies, both listed and unlisted, including financial institutions, business trusts, real estate investment trusts, issuers of capital market instruments, real estate companies, infrastructure-related entities, and private equity and hedge fund managers.
