Singapore has unveiled a pro-business Budget that will send the Government into its third deficit in four years.

There is no cut to personal income taxes but the Government is still trimming corporate taxes and offering more incentives to lure companies. On the personal front, older Singaporeans are being given a Medisave top-up.

Corporate tax rate lowered from 22% to 20 %.
Possible extension of maternity leave.
Financial aid for infant care.
Tax exemption for individual foreign sourced income.
