This book is intended for candidates taking professional examinations in Singapore taxation, as well as full-time undergraduate students taking Singapore income tax courses in local universities and other tertiary institutions. Lecturers may adopt it as the main text of a one-semester course on basic taxation in Singapore.
It is also suitable for those who have little or no knowledge in Singapore taxation, as it attempts to explain the tax laws in simple language.
