Withholding tax services:
Singapore has implemented a withholding tax law (on certain types of income) to ensure the collection of tax payable to non-residents on income generated in Singapore. The tax withholding does not apply to Singapore resident companies or individuals. Under the law, when a payment of a specified nature is made to a non-resident company or individual, a percentage of the payment has to be withheld and paid to Income Tax Authorities. The amount withheld is called the withholding tax.
Importance of Filing Tax Returns An NRI is usually taxed at source on a transaction he enters into during the year. But in actual, the tax liability for the year is computed in accordance with the provisions of the act and that amount is generally lower than the tax already paid.

However, a dividend distribution tax DDT (which varies for individual and corporate investors) is to be paid by the mutual fund on the dividends declared by them.
When it comes to shares, dividends distributed by all domestic companies are exempt from tax in the hands of shareholder as the same are taxed as DDT.
But note, dividends received from foreign companies are taxable in the hands of shareholder as the foreign companies are not liable to DDT
