Do we need to pay taxes in Singapore for overseas investments such as ETFs and stocks?

I had invested in overseas ETF and stocks. I know that capital gain is tax-free in SG, but what about dividends received from overseas ETF/Stock, do we need to pay tax for it? If yes, are the tax rates the same?

If there are any tax to be paid, the firm will settle for you with your dividends

No you do not need to file taxes. All dividends you received are post-tax.

Hi there, I only invest in SG & HK markets, so from what I know, we don't have to pay tax there. However, for US stocks, you would have to pay a 30% withholding tax on the dividends received.
