You are considered a non-resident. As a non-resident:

You will only be taxed on all income earned in Singapore.
You will not be entitled to tax reliefs.
Your employment income will be taxed at a flat rate of 15% or the progressive resident rates, whichever results in a higher tax amount.
Director’s fees and other income such as rent earned in or derived from Singapore will be taxed at the prevailing rate of 20% (22% from Year of Assessment 2017).

When filing income tax, please fill in Form M (Income Tax Return for Non-Residents).
