    [SINGAPORE] The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) is looking to simplify the framework for its single family office (SFO) fund tax scheme, to better align it with industry needs.

    The streamlining would entail reducing the documentation needed for applications, easing reporting requirements and expanding the types of investments eligible for the fund tax scheme, said Minister for National Development Chee Hong Tat, who is also deputy chairman of MAS.

    He was speaking on Monday (Sep 29) at the Global-Asia Family Office Summit organised by the Wealth Management Institute (WMI).
