Do foreign companies that set up in Singapore enjoy tax incentives?

Yes — foreign-owned companies are generally treated the same as local ones. They can enjoy the start-up tax exemption (SUTE), partial tax exemption, and industry incentives (e.g. Pioneer, DEI, GIP-related) if they meet the eligibility conditions.
