Singapore EDG + Innovation Tax Allowance

Singapore EDG + Innovation Tax Allowance combines Enterprise Singapore's Enterprise Development Grant with the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore's Enterprise Innovation Scheme. It sits in Singapore's business-support stack for registered companies and is aimed at firms that are financially ready to start work and operate locally, with EnterpriseSG administering the grant side and IRAS handling the tax side. On the grant side, EDG supports core capabilities, innovation and productivity, and market access projects, with support of up to 50% for local SMEs and up to 70% for sustainability-related work. The tax side carries 400% deductions or allowances on qualifying R&D, IP registration, IP rights acquisition and licensing, and eligible training, plus a cash-payout option on part of the qualifying spend. The structured scale in the record runs from SGD 30,000 to SGD 2 million, with a median actual value around SGD 100,000. The strongest fit is a Singapore-registered for-profit company with at least 30% local equity that can start a new project, keep claims clean, and avoid duplicating expenses. Applicants need to line up the project category, Business Grants Portal filing, and claim timing carefully, because the route blends a cost-share grant with tax relief rather than a single payout. Companies pursuing cross-sector innovation or sustainability work are the clearest match.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
