One Partner. Complete Convenience.
 

Business is already complex. Your corporate services shouldn’t be.

 

As your business grows, so does the operational complexity. Growing a business comes with challenges at every stage. Managing multiple siloed providers for corporate secretarial, tax, payroll, accounting, share registry, and sustainability services not only adds complexity but also slows decision-making and increases your risks and costs.

With the OneBoardRoom Advantage, you’ll get a seamless experience of a single integrated corporate services partner that promises to support you at every phase of your business lifecycle.

The Problems You Face at Every Meeting? BoardRoom Solves Them

Meetings, But Seamless
 

BoardRoom: The Trusted Partner for Singapore’s Most Important Meetings

 

Shareholder meetings today are more than a formality. They are high-stakes events where every detail counts. With multiple elements across physical and hybrid formats, the margin for error is slim. Even well-planned meetings can unravel quickly.

A sudden increase in attendance can leave you without enough seats, refreshments, or polling devices. Meanwhile, lower turnout means wasted catering and inflated costs. And, choosing between manual or digital polling brings uncertainty, especially when technical issues can disrupt the process.

Hybrid meetings present an additional layer of complexity. Remote participants must be able to log in, participate, and vote without interruption. One missed email, audio glitch, or login issue can damage trust and impact the entire experience.

This is why companies turn to BoardRoom. We work closely together with companies to ensure meetings run seamlessly and smoothly. 

 
 

Designed to Solve Real Problems

BoardRoom has helped thousands of companies navigate these exact challenges. Our approach covers every stage of the meeting lifecycle, from pre-event logistics to post-meeting compliance.

 

Pre-Meeting

  • Venue selection with flexibility to accommodate attendance fluctuations
     
  • Remind clients on planning their contingency strategies
     
  • Polling method advice and setup, including manual, electronic, or BYOD options
     
  • Proxy lodgement, pre-registration authentication, and dry run coordination
 

Meeting Day

(Physical & Hybrid)

  • Registration and attendance management for both in-person and virtual participants
     
  • Polling execution with fully auditable systems
     
  • Prepared responses to technical disruptions, arrivals after meeting has concluded, or unexpected changes
 

Post-Meeting

  • Timely delivery of accurate, fully compliant reports and voting results
 

BoardRoom delivers seamless, compliant General Meetings, whether they're physical, virtual, or hybrid, through expert execution and secure, auditable technology. From high turnout to technical complexity, we anticipate and address issues before they arise, ensuring your meeting runs smoothly without a hitch.

 

Why Leading Companies Trust BoardRoom

BoardRoom is the leading Share Registry Services provider in Singapore, supporting over 80 percent of SGX large-cap companies. In April 2025 alone, we managed almost 50% of all AGMs in Singapore, including 132 meetings in the final week.

We are more than a service provider. We are a meeting partner who ensures every step is executed with control, credibility, and full compliance.

Our teams across Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Australia bring deep regional expertise and operational consistency for companies listed on SGX, HKEX, ASX, and BURSA.

As the corporate tax environment becomes increasingly complex, timely compliance is more critical than ever. Companies in Malaysia with a financial year ending 31 December 2024 must submit their corporate income tax return (Form e-C) by 31 July 2025, in line with statutory requirements from the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM). 

Form e-C is the prescribed return under the Income Tax Act 1967 and applies to all resident and non-resident companies operating in Malaysia. With recent changes to tax policies, including updates to reliefs, deductions, and incentives, it is important that tax positions are reviewed carefully to ensure accuracy and compliance in this year’s filing.

U.S. Tariffs Are Changing the Game — Is Your Tax Strategy Ready?

U.S. Tariffs Are Changing the Game — Is Your Tax Strategy Ready?

{{subject}}
 

On 2 April 2025, the U.S. announced a sweeping shift in trade policy— “reciprocal tariffs”, including a baseline 10% tariff on imports, with certain goods subject to even higher rates.

 

This policy change is expected to have substantial ripple effects globally, especially in Asia’s trade-dependent economies like Singapore and Malaysia, reshaping the trade flows, supply chain arrangements and cross-border operations.

 

In this evolving landscape, businesses must remain agile, not just in their operations but also in their financial and tax strategies. The changing trade dynamics present both challenges and opportunities, prompting a need to reassess both indirect and direct tax considerations.

 

In this edition of our newsletter, we explore how businesses in Asia can respond proactively to these developments:

 
  • Indirect tax considerations: Adapting to changing trade flows
  • Direct tax considerations: Rethinking cross-border transfer pricing
  • Proactive tax planning: Building long-term resilience
Stay ahead of the curve and click below to download our newsletter now.

We are here to support you through these changes with tailored solutions to optimise both indirect and direct tax strategies.

Deadlines for Hong Kong 2024/25 Annual Filing

Deadlines for Hong Kong 2024/25 Annual Filing

{{subject}}
 

As the annual tax filing season approaches, please be reminded of the upcoming deadlines for filing both your Employer's Return and Profits Tax Return. While the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) has granted an extended filing deadline for Profits Tax Returns under the Block Extension Scheme for tax representatives, the deadline for filing the Employer's Return remains unchanged. 

 
 

Employer’s Return

The Employer’s Returns of Remuneration and Pensions (Form BIR56A) for the year ended 31 March 2025 will be issued on 1 April 2025. Please note that the Block Extension Scheme does not apply to Employer’s Returns.

Employers are required to complete and file the returns within one month from 1 April 2025, along with Form(s) IR56B to report remuneration paid to employees and directors for duties performed both inside and outside Hong Kong during the tax year (1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025).

Additionally, if you have any new hires or terminated employees, you must submit the relevant Form IR56E, Form IR56F or Form IR56G.

 

Remuneration Period

Original Deadline

Extended Deadline

1 April 2024 – 31 March 2025

2 May 2025

No extension

 

What happens if I miss the deadline?

Failure to submit the Employer’s Return within the specified timeframe may result in a fine of HK$10,000 (Level 3 fine), and the court may order additional penalties.

 
 

Profits Tax Return

The bulk issue of 2024/25 Profits Tax returns for corporations and partnerships will be sent out on 1 April 2025 for active cases and 2 April 2025 for inactive cases.

Please note that filing deadlines have been segregated and extended under the Block Extension Scheme according to the different accounting date codes for taxpayers who have appointed tax representatives.

 

Accounting Date / Code

Original Deadline

Extended Deadline

1 April 2024– 30 November 2024 (Code “N”)

2 May 2025

No extension

1 December 2024 – 31 December 2024 (Code “D”) 2 May 2025 15 August 2025
1 January 2025 – 31 March 2025 (Code “M”) 2 May 2025 17 November 2025

 

What happens if I miss the deadline?

What happens if I miss the deadline? Failure to file a Profits Tax Return within the statutory time limit or the filing of an incorrect Profits Tax Return is an offence and is liable on conviction to a fine at level 3 (i.e. HK$10,000), and a further fine of treble the undercharged amount.

In addition, every company that has derived net assessable profits for any year of assessment must inform the IRD in writing that it is so chargeable, not later than four months after the end of the basis period for that year of assessment unless it has already been required to furnish a Profits Tax Return. A company that fails to notify chargeability without reasonable excuses shall be guilty of an offence and is liable on conviction to a fine of HK$10,000 (Level 3 fine), and a further fine of three times the undercharged amount.

The IRD may also issue estimated assessments and impose further penalties for late filing or any non-compliance.
