to start the ball rolling, i have some questions to ask.

anyone knows anything about the internet laws in singapore? if we set up a commercial website on the internet, like seach engine, auction, webstore etc... do we need to register anything?

do we need to pay any taxes?

what are the things that is essential to know and do??

Have to register for domain??

Not too sure.

If it's a registered company, then tax is unavoidable.

openmind SG

but registering a domain has anything to do with our government? i mean we can just register our web domain with any provider on the net. i think the question is do we need to register our (company if we can call it one) name?

Parka SG

Hmmmm......

I forgot all my law thing already. If you're a boss, would you register your company?

(this is what is so good about Singapore's education. Argh. forgot everything)

hahaaa i also cant remember much of what i have studied.

If you're a boss, would you register your company? well, i think many people have some ideas which they think will works and they want to give it a try. however there are many problems, like the capital, legal issues ... so let's say we have this great idea that we want to give it a try. it may succeed and it may fail. many people will not actually go and take loans and register anything at first. they will just start up with the minimum at the start. but the thing is what if it succeed after some time? like making big money from the website? and we are like having no company name or anything. will there be any legal issues? like the government want us to pay tax or whatever??

openmind SG

so anyone can enlighten me??
