Calculation Examples
Example 1: Small Company (PTE)
A company has S$80,000 chargeable income.
- First $10k: 75% exempt = $7,500 exempt. Taxable: $2,500.
- Next $70k: 50% exempt = $35,000 exempt. Taxable: $35,000.
- Total Taxable Income: $37,500.
- Tax Payable (17%): $6,375.
Example 2: Medium Company (PTE)
A company has S$250,000 chargeable income.
- Exempt Amount: ($10k * 75%) + ($190k * 50%) = $7,500 + $95,000 = $102,500.
