Setting up an Investment Holding Company (IHC)

An investment holding is defined as a company that owns properties and/or shares for long-term investment and derive “non-trade” income such as rental and interest.

As most know, commercial investments involve many types of legal agreements and more, of which can only be signed by a properly established business entity. By incorporating yourself and/or your partners as an investment holding, you create a company as a separate legal entity.

GST Registration for IHC

In the case of an Investment Holding, you may register for GST voluntarily even if your annual taxable turnover is less than S$1 million. To register your company for GST, the two key documents you need are:

  • Option to Purchase (OTP): A right or option given by the developer of a commercial property to a prospective purchase. The booking fee of which is 1%-3% of the property’s purchase price.

  • Sales and Purchase (SNP): An agreement made between the developer and purchase for the sale and purchase of any commercial property.

 

It is important to note that if intending to claim GST for the property purchased, the company should register for GST as close to Temporary Occupancy Permit (TOP) as possible (but not after).
