Easing the burden on your business so you can focus on your core
Firstly, VCC is incorporated under the VCC Act instead of the Companies Act (CA) though, still administered by the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA).
There’s flexibility in choice of accounting standards - VCCs can use either Singapore or other recognised international accounting standards i.e. the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP) for their financial statements.
Tax treatment which is an important factor in determining the venue for fund domiciliation and management, made legislative changes on Income Tax Act, Goods and Services Tax Act & Stamp Duties Act relating to VCC.
To further encourage industry adoption of the VCC framework in Singapore, Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and ACRA which launched the Variable Capital Companies framework on Jan 15, 2020 has also launched a Variable Capital Companies Grant Scheme.
The grant scheme will help defray costs involved in incorporating or registering a VCC by co-funding up to 70% of eligible expenses paid to Singapore-based service providers, capped at S$150,000 for each application, with a maximum of three VCCs per fund manager.
