I am a professional visiting Singapore. If I render my services in Singapore for a brief period of not more than 60 days in the calendar year, will I be exempt from tax?

The Singapore government offers an exemption on tax for short-term employment. The period of short-term employment must be 60 days or less to qualify for the exemption.

However, the exemption for short-term employment is not applicable to non-resident professionals who are visiting Singapore and exercising their professions. A visiting non-residential professional can only qualify for the tax exemption if the visiting professional is an employee.
