Singapore ACRA registration fees by business structure

Name reservation and registration are separate charges

ACRA lists SGD 15 for the name application and SGD 100 to register each of the non-company structures in this comparison. For a local company, the registration line rises to SGD 300 while the name line stays at SGD 15. The resulting difference in standard setup fees is SGD 200. Source 1 Source 3 Source 4 Source 5

Registration length matters for a sole proprietorship or general partnership

ACRA’s registration instructions list one-year and eligible three-year periods. The one-year registration is SGD 100 and is the option shown in the setup table. The fee page lists SGD 30 for a standard renewal. Check the registration period the application actually uses. Source 1 Source 2

Identical SGD 30 fees can represent different obligations

The LP fee schedule lists a SGD 30 renewal of business registration. The LLP schedule lists SGD 30 to file its annual declaration. These transactions follow different requirements even where the amounts agree. Source 3 Source 4

A company has a separate annual return charge

ACRA lists SGD 60 to file a company annual return. The schedule also lists SGD 200 for certain requests to extend filing or meeting time. Those requests have their own fee lines and do not form part of the ordinary registration total shown here. Source 5
