How do I determine the first three consecutive Years of Assessment (YA), if my company is notclaiming the tax exemption for new start-up companies in the first few years?If, during any of the first three YAs, your company incurs losses or it has no income (e.g. businesshas not commenced), your chargeable income and tax payable will be nil. In this case, sincethere is no chargeable income, your company cannot enjoy the benefit given under the taxexemption scheme for new start-up companies for that particular YA. However, that particularYA will still be included in determining the first three consecutive YAs.For example:Your company's first three YAs are YA 2011, YA 2012 and YA 2013. It has no income inYA 2011 and YA 2012. It started its operations in 2012 and has taxable income in YA 2013.In this case, your company can only claim tax exemption for new start-up companies inYA 2013 (assuming your company is not excluded from the scheme and meets allthe qualifying conditions).YA 2013 is considered your third YA although this is your first claim for tax exemption fornew start-up companies. You cannot claim tax exemption for new start-up companies inYA 2014, which is your fourth YA. However, you will be given partial tax exemption inYA 2014. For details on the partial tax exemption, please refer to Tax Rates and TaxExemption Schemes._________________________________________________________
