Business Trust (BT)
Verbatim from IRAS (accessed 2026-05-27).
For tax purpose, a registered business trust is treated like a company from the first year it commences operation as a registered business trust. This is because the economic purpose, structure and operation of a registered business trust are similar to those of a company.
