💡Weekly E-Newsletter
🚦Hong Kong | Electronic Driving Licence Officially Launched
The Transport Department has launched the electronic driving license (eDL), allowing around 2.5 million drivers to access their full, learner’s, probationary, temporary, or instructor licenses via a free app on iOS, Android, and Huawei devices. Using secure features like identity checks, encrypted QR codes, and screen capture blocks, the eDL can replace physical licenses for legal purposes. Drivers log in through “iAM Smart” or the e-Licensing Portal, with license status shown in blue, yellow, or red. Physical licenses remain available, and new online applicants can use the eDL immediately upon approval.
💶 Singapore | Financial Statements: A Guide for Non-Accountants
Many business owners see financial statements as their accountants’ concern, but these reports reveal the true health of a company. The balance sheet shows assets, liabilities, and equity, highlighting financial stability; the income statement tracks profitability and cost efficiency; and the cash flow statement monitors liquidity and daily operations. Together, they provide a clear picture of performance, sustainability, and risk. By understanding and reviewing these statements regularly, even non-accountants can make informed decisions, manage resources wisely, and build stronger credibility with investors, lenders, and stakeholders.
💡 Taiwan | No Tax Credit for Overseas Tax Overpaid Without Treaty Application
The Taipei National Tax Administration (TNTA) announced that while Taiwan has income tax treaties with 35 countries, excess foreign tax paid due to failure to apply a treaty cannot be credited against Taiwan’s corporate income tax. For instance, if a Taiwanese company pays withholding tax above the treaty rate, such as 15% instead of the 10% cap under the Taiwan–Thailand treaty, the excess 5% cannot be claimed as a credit. The TNTA urges companies with foreign-source income to apply treaty benefits in partner countries to avoid losing eligible tax credits.
📈 Vietnam | Foreign Investment Disbursement Hits Record $21.3 B in 10 Months
According to the Foreign Investment Agency (Ministry of Finance), total registered foreign investment capital in Vietnam by October 2025 reached USD 31.52 billion, up 15.6% year-on-year. Realized capital hit a record USD 21.3 billion, rising 8.8%, which is the highest in five years. The processing and manufacturing sector dominated with 83% of disbursed and 62.5% of registered FDI, followed by real estate at around 20%. Among 87 investing economies, Singapore led with USD 3.76 billion, followed by China and Hong Kong, reflecting Vietnam’s sustained attractiveness as a key regional investment hub.
🔑 Malaysia | New Qualifying Criteria for Audit Exemption (Issue 4 of 4)
The new audit exemption in Malaysia eases compliance burdens for small and micro enterprises by reducing audit-related costs, allowing them to redirect resources toward growth and innovation. This policy promotes financial relief, operational efficiency, and business expansion, especially for startups operating on tight budgets. By simplifying compliance, the government supports a more dynamic and competitive business environment where smaller companies can thrive, while ensuring that larger entities continue to meet regulatory standards.
📊 Dubai | Dubai Chamber of Commerce Q1-Q3 2025 Performance
The Dubai Chamber of Commerce recorded strong growth in the first nine months of 2025, reflecting Dubai’s position as a global business hub and progress toward the D33 Agenda. It welcomed 53,838 new member companies (up 4%), while members’ exports and re-exports rose 16% to AED 260 billion. The Chamber issued 627,908 certificates of origin (up 9%) and expanded initiatives through the Dubai Centre for Family Businesses, launching advisory services, an advisor directory, and training programs to enhance governance, leadership, and the long-term sustainability of family enterprises.
