Incorporating a Singapore Pte Ltd for Portuguese Remote Developers
Portuguese remote developers can incorporate a Singapore Pte Ltd to access a stable, common-law jurisdiction for international business operations. The structure requires a local resident director, which can be provided via professional services like Sleek.
Singapore's tax regime offers a 17% flat corporate tax rate. Founders should evaluate the impact of the phase-out of the Portuguese NHR regime on their personal tax liability regarding dividends and salary drawn from the Singapore entity.
