Doing business in Singapore for clients from Uzbekistan

A contracting and investment base

Exporters and growing family groups can set up a private company limited by shares with as little as one share and S$1 of capital, and use it to hold foreign investments or to sign contracts with Asian counterparties. Gains that are capital in nature are not taxed in Singapore, with an exception under section 10L for foreign-asset disposals by an entity without economic substance. Those conditions deserve attention before a structure is chosen.

Tax treaty and trade agreements

Singapore and Uzbekistan have a comprehensive double taxation agreement, ratified according to Singapore’s Ministry of Finance. No free trade agreement between Singapore and Uzbekistan among the 29 agreements Singapore has in force was found, as checked in November 2026.
