Vikna Rajah is the head of the tax department at Rajah & Tann. He focuses his practice on tax and trust. The tax team has been engaged by sovereign wealth funds, multinationals, Big Four accounting firms, and Fortune 100 companies. It has built a strong connection with the firm’s M&A and banking and financial departments in cross-border transactions. It also advises multinationals and high-net-worth individuals on income tax, GST, stamp duty and tax treaties regarding various transactions, including tax-efficient Singapore-based holding structures for the worldwide operating subsidiaries of multinationals.

One recent case study showed that Vikna Rajah led the team and advised a real estate investment trust on tax structuring alternatives in a S$2.16 billion acquisition of two Singapore shopping malls.
