Freelancing from sg with foreign entities only

[Strong Eagle]

Just had a chat with IRAS who pointed me to this link: https://www.iras.gov.sg/irashome/Indivi ... Employers/

And told me based on this, yes, I will need to pay tax.

However the condition is that services must be "rendered in Singapore". In my case I do IT work purely on servers outside of Singapore. So maybe I can get out of it...

I have spoken to IRAS about this. If you are physically located in Singapore, then you are rendering services in Singapore, even if you are working on a server in Mongolia. You have a computer and network connection in Singapore.
