A Singapore tax resident company applying for tax benefit under the Avoidance Double Taxation Agreement (“DTA”) with a treaty country may be required to complete and submit a tax reclaim form with or in place of a Certificate of Residence (refer to our article here for more information on Certificate of Residence).

The tax reclaim form may have to be certified by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore before it can be submitted to the foreign tax authority for claiming of DTA tax benefits.

Indonesia Tax Reclaim Forms (DGT Form 1 and DGT Form 2)
Indonesia is an example of a country that requires a tax reclaim form (i.e., DGT Form 1 and DGT Form 2) before a Singapore tax resident company can enjoy the tax treaty benefit under the Singapore – Indonesia tax treaty.

However, the DGT forms will not require certification by the IRAS, but a Singapore Certificate of Residence must be submitted together with the completed DGT Form to the Indonesia tax authorities.
