Country Financial Analysis

The statutory corporate income tax rate in Singapore is 17%.

Shell in Singapore generates significant revenue but also incurs substantial operational costs. In 2020, profit fell for a number of reasons, including a surplus of fuel supply in the region and a significant drop in demand and prices as a result of COVID-19. Shell’s manufacturing and chemical businesses in Singapore continued to make capital investments. Singapore allows current-year capital allowances on such investments and losses to be offset against the taxable profits of most entities. Tax accrued in one year is typically paid in the following year.

Singapore has granted some Shell companies tax incentives based on our contribution to the local economy, including local employment, local business expenditure and strategic partnerships with local industry participants.

Tax incentives
There is no common definition of a tax incentive. Shell defines tax incentives as fiscal measures designed by governments to stimulate investment and encourage growth, or a change of behaviour, by providing more favourable tax treatment to some activities or sectors. Incentives can include accelerated tax relief for capital expenditure on infrastructure, exemptions from certain taxes where government economic targets (for example employment targets) are met, or a favourable tax treatment of costs related to research and development activities for certain technologies.
