Trading account

[Tina1]

Hello! It is possible that I have to leave Singapore soon and I am wondering what to do with my trading account... I trade quite actively and like the fact that there is no capital gains tax in Singapore. Does anyone know whether I would have to set up a legal entity in order to be able to keep the account officially in SG as non-resident and to ensure that I only get taxed in SG on that account? The costs of setting up an entity might be lower than having to pay capital gains tax back home.
Thanks.

Ask the bank about rules for keeping an account without residence here. I have kept bank accounts in various countries after leaving without any problem (they just sometimes insist on a local mailing address).
Taxation depends solely on the tax rules of your resident country (and possibly its tax treaty with Singapore). In some places you are tax-liable for world income, no matter where it is accrued and paid out.
