A milestone celebrating two decades of impact and the beginning of a new chapter for tax learning and collaboration.

On 31 July 2026, Tax Academy of Singapore celebrated its 20th Anniversary Dinner Reception and the official opening of the Tax Academy of Singapore Hub, welcoming approximately 210 distinguished guests from government, industry, academia and the tax profession.

The evening marked not only two decades of advancing tax education and professional development, but also the start of an exciting new chapter. Since its establishment in 2006, Tax Academy has remained committed to developing future-ready tax professionals, advancing tax excellence, and bringing together government, industry and academia through learning, collaboration and the exchange of ideas.

A key highlight of the evening was the opening of the Tax Academy of Singapore Hub—a purpose-built space designed to support the future of tax learning. More than a training venue, the Hub serves as a collaborative space for in-person, hybrid and on-demand learning, while fostering stronger partnerships within Singapore and across the international tax community.

The celebration also honoured the people and partnerships that have shaped the Academy's journey over the past 20 years. Guests enjoyed an evening of meaningful conversations, renewed connections and memorable performances by colleagues from the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) and Tax Academy of Singapore.
