Exchange rate for tax of salaries paid in USD?

[iamsen]

Since all our business transactions are in USD, and that we're moving all staff out of SG (leaving just a shell co. here) within the next 2 years, we're thinking of just paying everyone in USD starting April.

I didn't find anything regarding wages paid in foreign currencies on the IRAS website but they do have an average annual rate for taxes. I've not done the sums yet but from a quick glance, it doesn't look very favourable to the rates we actually get.

When paying taxes (corp/income/bribes/etc), anyone knows if we're allowed to set our own rates, or do we have to use theirs?

I believe you will have to use their rates of exchange which I believe are furnished by the MAS.
