The only page located on the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore website that addresses digital tokens is corporate income tax guidance about businesses, not a page addressed to individual investors. That page states that capital gains are not taxable, and that businesses which accept digital tokens for remuneration or revenue or which trade in digital tokens are subject to normal income tax rules. It states no rule for a private individual's personal disposal of bitcoin.
