Introduction
Expanding internationally can be a significant challenge in foreign markets – of which the
Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) is no exception. Diverse economies, divergent
systems of taxation, and challenging regulations can all present challenges for even the most
weathered and adaptive firms.
Although crafting a strategy to maximize profit in ASEAN – a region comprised of 10 economies
at varying stages of development – may seem a particularly daunting task, effective investment
strategy can help to minimize uncertainty and harness ASEAN’s diversity. Of critical importance
in this respect is the establishment of regional management centers. Not only can these centers
help to bring predictability to regional market entry; more importantly, regional management
can act as an effective tool to maximize profits.
In this issue of ASEAN Briefing, we highlight the growing importance of Singapore as a
management hub for the ASEAN region, and provide guidance on how to maximize returns
through its domestic and international taxation infrastructure. We highlight the importance
of double taxation agreements, discuss the ability of companies to route remittances through
Singapore, and provide step-by-step instructions on guidelines for corporate establishment
within the city state.
Dezan Shira & Associates has a growing team of Tax and Corporate Advisory specialists within
Singapore and ASEAN at large with years of experience helping foreign enterprises set up
operations within the region. For questions or information on double taxation, corporate
establishment, or other issues related to entering the ASEAN marketplace, please contact
