Royalty payments for sales on the India (IN) store are subject to Singaporean tax withholding.
- SG publishers. Royalty payments for sales on the IN store are not subject to SG tax withholding once you have provided Amazon with your Singapore taxpayer identification number. Download the Singapore Tax Questionnaire and complete it, including your Singapore taxpayer identification number, and mail it to the address in the questionnaire.
- Non-SG publishers. Royalty payments for sales in the IN store are subject to 10% Singaporean tax withholding. You may qualify for a reduced rate of Singapore tax withholding under the income tax treaty between your country and Singapore. Authors located in the U.S. and India likely do not qualify for a reduced rate. Expected reduced withholding rates can be found in this table.
To check if you qualify, visit the
Singapore Government website. If you determine you qualify and wish to claim a reduced rate of withholding, please complete the
Singapore Tax Questionnaire and mail it, along with an original hard copy Tax Residency Certificate (you will need to obtain this form from your government tax authority), to the address in the questionnaire.
