Tax Dispute Resolution in Singapore
Prepare. Defend. Resolve.
Tax scrutiny is intensifying across jurisdictions. Global cooperation among tax authorities and increased data sharing mean more audits, deeper investigations, and higher risk. If your business operates in multiple countries—or even just one—you’re likely to encounter increased tax authority engagement.
At VIVOS, we help you get ahead of tax controversy. From audit preparation to voluntary disclosures and appeals, our goal is simple: protect your position, reduce your exposure, and resolve matters efficiently.

What triggers a tax audit in Singapore?
IRAS may initiate an audit based on discrepancies in returns, industry benchmarks, whistleblowing, or random selection. Our audit support ensures you’re prepared either way.
-
Can voluntary disclosure reduce penalties?
Yes. Early and accurate voluntary disclosure can help avoid prosecution and reduce penalties significantly

What qualifies as a non-resident?
Not always. Vivos can represent and advise you through negotiations, audits, and appeals. For litigation, we collaborate with legal experts when required.
