SINGAPORE should stand ready to review its tax regime so that the economy's growth down the road is sustainable, said Heng Swee Keat, chairman of a high-powered committee tasked with reviewing how the economy should be restructured.
When asked by reporters for specifics on the tweaks to the tax regime, he replied: "As to whether there are grand, specific changes to be implemented, that will be a separate process for us to do the consultation, to run through what is needed to be done."
