Our colleague Richard Goh (Group Tax Specialist of Corporate Tax Division) recently took his expertise international with a research stint at the prestigious WU Transfer Pricing Center in Vienna, focusing on the complex world of DEMPE (Development, Enhancement, Maintenance, Protection, and Exploitation) evaluation for intangibles.

Introduced by the OECD as part of the BEPS (Base Erosion and Profit Shifting) initiative, the DEMPE framework was designed to guide the functional analysis of intangibles in transfer pricing. Richard’s research focused on practical methods to assess DEMPE functions, bridging theory and practice.

He also shared insights from his earlier MTS research on Intangible Asset Valuation for Financial Reporting, Tax, and Transfer Pricing with academics, students, and professionals at both the Prague University of Economics and Business and WU.

“Despite the short stint, it made me realise how nuanced DEMPE evaluations can be, and how cross-border academic and professional exchanges help shape well-informed approaches to complex tax issues. Personally, the experience was incredibly fulfilling – not just for the research, but for the relationships built. I came to appreciate that the research journey is never a solitary one. It is shaped by the people we meet, the conversations we have, and the connections we form.” – Richard

We are proud to support talent pushing the boundaries of knowledge worldwide.

Two of our colleagues, Danny Goh (Director of International Tax and Relations Division – Exchange of Information Branch) and Lin Runxing (Deputy Director of Investigation and Forensics Division), attended the 8th Asia Initiative Meeting held in the Maldives.

Co-organised by the Global Forum and Maldives Inland Revenue Authority, the three-day meeting saw tax officials from across Asia coming together to exchange views and experiences, and to launch the Tax Transparency in Asia 2025 report. The report presents the collective progress made by Asian jurisdictions in implementing the international tax transparency standards and reinforcing cooperation to tackle tax evasion and other illicit financial flows. Read the full report here: https://www.oecd.org/content/dam/oecd/en/networks/global-forum-tax-transparency/tax-transparency-in-asia-2025.pdf

As a panellist in the session on the implementation of the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) and amended Common Reporting Standard (CRS), Danny shared key elements of Singapore’s implementation strategy. We greatly benefited from the open sharing by other participants and made valuable new connections with fellow tax administrators, which will help drive our work to effectively implement internationally agreed tax transparency standards.

The #IRASFam hosted the inaugural Workshop on the Global Forum's Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) commitment and implementation of the requirements. This landmark event, bringing together participants from across the world - Asia-Pacific, Africa, Middle East & Central Asia, Europe, and the Americas - was jointly organised by IRAS and the Global Forum Secretariat.

Over two engaging days, participants learned about CARF requirements and worked together in cross-jurisdictional teams to develop practical implementation plans through interactive sessions led by expert facilitators from the Global Forum Secretariat. The enthusiasm and dedication demonstrated by all participants were truly inspiring!

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all our international colleagues for their active participation and hope they enjoyed their experience in Singapore. Looking forward to more opportunities for continued peer learning and collaboration!

We were delighted to have Radhanath Housden and Colby Mangels from the Global Forum Secretariat at the IRAS Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) industry engagement session held on 24 June 2025. Two of our colleagues from our International Tax and Relations Division (Exchange of Information Branch), Danny Goh and Cheng Jong Pang, also shared practical insights on the domestic implementation of CARF.

The session drew over 100 participants from over 50 crypto-asset service providers, intermediaries and associations. Discussions covered valuable perspectives on the global implementation of international tax transparency standards, the development of CARF and the Amended Common Reporting Standard (CRS), as well as practical implementation considerations for both frameworks.

We are grateful to the participants for their strong commitment to enhancing tax transparency and combating cross-border tax evasion. IRAS remains dedicated to collaborating closely with industry partners to facilitate a smooth implementation process.
