No, dividend income is not subject to personal income tax.

​

Of course, any dividend income from your company would come from post-tax profits, so you would still be paying the corporate tax rate. Corporate taxes in Singapore are low at 17%. There are also certain partial tax exemptions available for your first $200,000 of corporate income. Also, there are tax loss carry forwards, which means losses in previous years can be used to offset taxable income in the future.

​

These tax benefits are designed to promote capital investments, e.g. entrepreneurs starting and growing their own businesses.

I believe its taxed on a corporate basis through the company, but not on a personal level.
