Singapore Legal Secretary
Appointing a company secretary is an important step in setting up a company in Singapore. The role and responsibilities of a company secretary in terms of legal compliance are very important. Because many compliance and filing requirements are mandated by law, any failure to comply would be unlawful. Any mistakes made in compliance can often be costly, with penalties including fines, imprisonment and removal from office as a director or secretary.
So if you want to come to Singapore to register a company, the company needs at least one resident who usually lives in Singapore as the legal secretary of the company.

Company information changes
maleDirectors of the company have the obligation to ensure that the company's information is true in real time. In Singapore, if there are any updates to the company's information, the company directors must promptly notify the legal secretary so that the legal secretary can submit the updated information to the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority of Singapore (ACRA) in a timely manner. The legal secretary must report updated information through the Bizfile+ web page within 14 days.

Cancellation of company
Deregistration means canceling the registration of the company. The result is that the company's name will be removed from the register of companies and the business will eventually be dissolved. Please remember that deregistration and winding up are two different processes, although the end result is the same, which is the dissolution of the company. Winding up is a more formal process that requires an appointed liquidator to convert assets into cash to pay off debts and then distribute the remaining value to the company's members.
process
1. Before applying for deregistration, a Singapore company needs to self-examine whether there are any unpaid fines, unresolved legal matters, or unresolved tax matters.
2. It is necessary to provide the company’s financial statements from the last fiscal year-end to the time when it is no longer in operation. Financial statements are generally produced through company bills, bank monthly statements, purchase and sales contracts, etc.
3. Submit the company's cancellation resolution, company's financial statements, company registration certificate, BIZFILE documents and other company registration documents to the Accounting and Corporate Administration (ACRA) and the Inland Revenue Service (IRAS) to apply for company cancellation.
The relevant government departments will conduct a one-month review and issue an acceptance letter to the directors, secretary and the company. During this period, the company's directors and shareholders can raise objections;
5. In the absence of objections, the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) issues a second letter and enters a three-month announcement period, during which relevant creditors and debtors and relevant rights holders may raise objections;
6. If no objection is received during the publicity period, the company status will change to STRUCK OFF, which means the company has been deregistered.
dormant company
For companies that are in a dormant state, they can apply for exemption from tax declaration as a dormant company. However, please note that the Singapore Inland Revenue Authority will not provide a tax clearance letter. A company can determine whether it is in tax arrears through its latest notice of tax assessment and its latest statement of accounts of its tax liability.
Foreign company cancels Singapore company
The Singapore Companies Act stipulates that foreign companies must submit a notification to the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority of Singapore (ACRA) within 7 days of ceasing operations of a Singapore branch. Like other local companies, the company must submit all relevant documents and pay any tax arrears. The Singapore Inland Revenue Authority usually completes the assessment within one month. For companies that submit incomplete information or companies with complex matters, the Singapore Inland Revenue Authority will conduct further investigations, which may take up to six months or more.
