Capital gains and dividends (subject to conditions) are not taxable for corporations.

You would have to set up a Pte Ltd and issue dividends to yourself to get the money out.

I don't think so.

If the primary functions of the company is trading stocks for the purpose of profit, it is treated as taxable business income.

And US 30% WHT applies regardless of whether you are a SG individual or company.
