Close Singapore Brokerage Account
CDP SGX sell-down, SRS stock exit, Tiger/Moomoo close, and SGD wire.
The 60-second version
Singapore brokerage wind-down needs CDP sell or transfer, SRS pre-clearance if holdings inside SRS, broker closure, and SGD remittance. I map India CGT and Schedule FA on retained SGX stocks.
CDP account is central — broker is just access layer
Singapore shares sit in CDP — selling via DBS Vickers, Tiger, Moomoo, or IB SG settles to SGD cash then wire.
SRS-held stocks must sell inside SRS or transfer — premature SRS withdrawal has 5% penalty + tax.
Notify IRAS of tax residency change — gains after departure may be SG non-resident taxable.
SRS: SRS withdrawal guide. Bank: close SG bank.

Keep Tiger from India?
Technically possible — Schedule FA + SG/IRAS exposure — most close.
CDP transfer to US broker?
Complex — selling simpler before move.
Form 67?
If SG tax on gains same year India taxes.
GST on brokerage?
SG GST on fees — not India concern.
ESOP on SGX?
Separate employer plan — not CDP retail.
Joint CDP?
Both sign for transfer — plan before one spouse leaves.
