Comprehensive Corporate Services for Singapore SMEs
From incorporation and statutory corporate secretarial maintenance to monthly Xero cloud bookkeeping, IRAS corporate tax computations, and MOM payroll administration.
Bookkeeping & Management Accounts
Under Section 199 of the Singapore Companies Act, every incorporated business is legally required to keep proper financial records that sufficiently explain the transactions and financial standing of the company. DNA Accounting provides full-cycle, accrual-based bookkeeping compliant with the Singapore Financial Reporting Standard for Small Entities (SFRS for Small Entities).
Core Deliverables Included:
A small private company is exempt from statutory audit if it meets at least 2 of 3 criteria for the past 2 consecutive financial years: (1) Total annual revenue ≤ S$10 million, (2) Total assets ≤ S$10 million, (3) Total employees ≤ 50. Qualifying companies only require compilation of unaudited financial statements.
Corporate Secretarial & Governance
Under Section 171 of the Singapore Companies Act, every company must appoint a qualified, locally resident Company Secretary within 6 months of incorporation. Furthermore, the sole director of a company cannot simultaneously serve as the corporate secretary.
Our Secretarial Scope of Governance:
Corporate Taxation & GST Filing
Singapore taxes corporate income on a territorial basis at a competitive flat headline rate of 17% under a single-tier system (dividends distributed to shareholders are tax-free). However, failure to comply with IRAS deadlines triggers severe sanctions, summonses, and penalties up to S$10,000.
Two-Step Annual Tax Filing Workflow:
Qualifying new private companies enjoy 75% tax exemption on the first S$100,000 of chargeable income and 50% exemption on the next S$100,000 for their first 3 consecutive Years of Assessment (maximum tax-exempt profit of S$125,000). Our accredited tax practitioners optimize your filings to maximize these incentives.
Outsourced Payroll & MOM Compliance
Navigating human resources compliance in Singapore requires strict adherence to Ministry of Manpower (MOM) Employment Act mandates and Central Provident Fund (CPF) regulations. Failure to provide itemised payslips carries financial penalties up to S$1,000 per employee.
