SFO, VCC, or Trust? Choosing the right architecture for your family office. 🏛️
Building a family office is about more than just a legal structure; it’s an operating business. In Singapore, the "optimal" setup depends entirely on your quantum, strategy, and succession goals.
We’ve mapped out the standard building blocks: * The SFO Entity: The core management vehicle using the "own account" exemption.
* The VCC: Increasingly preferred for compartmentalized strategies or co-investments.
* The Foundation (CLG): The emerging choice for families formalizing their institutional legacy.

🚨 PDPC to Step Up Enforcement on NRIC Use from 1 January 2027 🚨
The Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) has announced that, from 1 January 2027, it will intensify enforcement actions against private organisations that continue to use full or partial NRIC numbers for authentication purposes.
Organisations are expected to move away from NRIC-based authentication and transition to more secure alternatives, in line with the joint advisory issued by PDPC and the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) in June 2025. Continued reliance on NRIC numbers increases the risk of unauthorised access and may constitute a breach of the PDPA, particularly where reasonable security arrangements are not in place.
To support organisations, the PDPC has also published:
• An advisory on common data protection lapses, and
• Recommended mitigation measures for entities handling NRIC-related personal data.
Entities in Healthcare, Finance & Insurance, and Telecommunications should additionally take note of sector-specific guidance issued by regulators such as MOH, MAS, and IMDA.
📌 What this means for organisations:
Now is the right time to review authentication practices, internal controls, and data protection frameworks—well ahead of the 2027 enforcement deadline.
At Adept Corporate Services, we support organisations with PDPA compliance, regulatory advisory, and governance reviews, helping businesses navigate evolving regulatory expectations with clarity and confidence.

Auto Inclusion Scheme (AIS) for Employment Income
The Auto-Inclusion Scheme (AIS) for Employment Income is a mandatory digital initiative by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS). Under this scheme, employers submit their employees' income information to IRAS electronically.
In the past, employees had to manually enter their salary, bonus, and commission details when filing their tax returns. With AIS:
The Employer: Submits the employment income data (Forms IR8A, Appendix 8A, etc.) to IRAS by 1 March each year.
IRAS: Automatically populates this data into the employees' electronic tax returns.
The Employee: When they log in to myTax Portal, their income is already listed. They only need to verify the figures and claim any additional reliefs. This is usually in March until 15 Apr each year.
Under Section 68(2) of the Income Tax Act, submission is mandatory for employers who:
• Have 5 or more employees in year 2025;
• Received a "Notice to File Employment Income of Employees Electronically"; or
• Were registered for AIS on or before 1 Mar 2026 and remained registered as of that date.
Learn how to register your company/business for AIS and streamline your operations.
