  • Singapore – April 2020
    Singapore – April 2020 Contents SINGAPORE ............................................................................................................................................................ 1 PARLIAMENT: LAW COMPELLING LANDLORDS TO PASS ON PROPERTY TAX REBATES TO TENANTS 'DOESN'T MAKE THEM WORSE OFF', SAYS DPM HENG ................................................................................................................................................................... 1 Singapore Parliament: Law compelling landlords to pass on property tax rebates to tenants 'doesn't make them worse off', says DPM Heng A new law that obliges commercial property owners to unconditionally pass on their property tax rebate in full to their tenants does not make these property owners worse-off, Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat said on Tuesday (April 7) afternoon. Under the Covid-19 (Temporary Measures) Bill, which was introduced to make landlords pass on the savings to their tenants, property owners who fail to do so unconditionally "without reasonable excuse" will be guilty of an offence and face fines of up to $5,000. Responding to some property owners' comments that such an obligation penalises them, Mr Heng, who is also Finance Minister, said that this move staves off rental terminations, and keeps their premises rented out. "With a property tax rebate of up to 100 per cent, property owners pay less or even no property tax for the year. "Property owners should pass the full tax savings on to their tenants as the property tax rebate is intended to benefit the tenants," Mr Heng said in his round-up speech of the supplementary Solidarity Budget 2020 debate. Commercial properties that qualified for Budget 2020's rebates of 15 per cent to 30 per cent will, with enhancements introduced in the Resilience Budget, pay zero property tax for this year.

  • 1 Factsheet by Parliament of Singapore the 39Th General
    FACTSHEET BY PARLIAMENT OF SINGAPORE THE 39TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE ASEAN INTER-PARLIAMENTARY ASSEMBLY (AIPA) The Parliament of Singapore is hosting the 39th General Assembly (GA) of the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA) from 3 to 7 September 2018 at the Raffles City Convention Centre. Over 350 delegates from Member Parliaments and Observer countries (see “Background on AIPA”), will be in attendance. The ASEAN Secretariat and parliamentarians from Morocco and Norway will also be present as guests of the host. 2 The theme for the 39th AIPA GA is “Towards a Resilient and Innovative Community”, which mirrors the theme of Singapore’s Chairmanship of ASEAN – “Resilient and Innovative”. This symbiosis with ASEAN reflects AIPA’s common concerns and vision for the people of our respective countries and our desire to align ourselves closely to the longer-term common goals of ASEAN. 3 As the AIPA President this year, Mr Tan Chuan-Jin, Speaker of the Parliament of Singapore, will be presiding over the 39th AIPA GA, including the plenary sessions. Mr Charles Chong, Deputy Speaker of the Parliament of Singapore, will be leading the Singapore delegation of parliamentarians (see Appendix A). 4 On 4 September 2018, leaders of the AIPA GA delegations paid a call on Mr Tan, during which it was agreed that AIPA has and will continue to play an important role as a conduit between the people of ASEAN nations and ASEAN. 5 As AIPA parliamentarians, Singapore’s delegates will also be chairing and participating in the meetings of six Committees tasked to look into specific matters (see Appendix B).
