This is definitely my first choice of travel.to where ar? rich ppl can go for odyssey, aeroline ppl like me go for first coach, five star, causeway link kiamsiap can depart from larkin, various Added on March 22, 2011, 10:32 am QUOTE(Lester1987 @ Mar 21 2011, 02:51 PM) if include trip in Singapore, its around 75KM a day. 2 days pump 1 tank RM11. if no traffic jam (during CNY), can reach office in 30 mins. not really that far.

QUOTE(Irishcoffee @ Mar 26 2011, 01:08 AM) but im not really sure where shld i work at I think you are very comfortable with your life in KL. Since you are still young, why not leave your comfort zone and explore the world a bit before you start to settle down and have a family. No harm done if you ask me. You can always goes back to your family if you find it difficult to settle or work down in SG.i can get 2000MYR working in KL , can stay with family , so no rental fee and less expenses on food , mom cook sometimes while 2500SGD at sg , have to pay rental , food , transport and everything else i really need some advice from u guys , tq Do a budget and ask yourself what you want to achieve in 10 years and you should be able to answer your own question. |

QUOTE(crapp0 @ Mar 30 2011, 04:44 PM) Our income is not taxed by the malaysian government since were not working in malaysia and malaysia does not tax repatriated monies. Hmm... it should be the other way. Money repatriate back to their respective country should be good for their country. However, I believe that if the country continue to lose skilled workers to another country, then less 'high-tech' foreign investor will want to go into that country. With that, it will cause the country to lose their competitive edge. Thus, more people will lose out and the country as a whole will lose out even with the money sent back. That's my theory...Burmese on the other hand is a different case. I was talking to a filipino and he told me that his country is facing the problem that overseas filipinos who repatriate money back are actually damaging or at best making their own country uncompetitive. Anybody have a theory on this? Added on March 30, 2011, 4:59 pm QUOTE(masconan @ Mar 30 2011, 04:56 PM) Ok. Then nex question, I got taxed 15% the first year working here (less than 1/2 years). :-(. But I did gain back some tax deduction in Malaysia though since my pay is based on 1/2 year in Malaysia.if I earn S$2.5 k, what is the tax rate charge for foreigner (Malaysian)in SG, non-PR holder?

QUOTE(seantang @ Mar 30 2011, 05:12 PM) I think you can appeal when you file your tax return for the 2nd year and they will adjust your 2nd year tax payable accordingly to account for a lower tax payable for your 1st year based the fact that your tax residency actually started in your 1st year. Give IRAS a call or go through their website. Seantang, thanks for the hint. I will sure be appealing next year.Added on March 31, 2011, 3:25 pm QUOTE(yeahs4.1 @ Mar 30 2011, 10:14 PM) 15%? Are you earning 160K per year? How I wish I am earning that amount of $$. But for now, it's just a wish. Still a long long way to go before I reach that unfortunately. For the first year, if work less than 183 days, will kena a flat rate income tax of 15%.CODE RATES OF TAX FOR YEAR OF ASSESSMENT 2011 Your chargeable income is the amount remaining after deducting from your assessable income the personal reliefs to which you are entitled. If you are a resident in Singapore, the rates of tax chargeable are as follows: "Chargeable Income" Rate Gross Tax Payable $ (%) $ On the first 20,000 0 0 On the next 10,000 3.5 350 On the first 30,000 350 On the next 10,000 5.5 550 On the first 40,000 900 On the next 40,000 8.5 3,400 On the first 80,000 4,300 On the next 80,000 14 11,200 On the first 160,000 15,500 On the next 160,000 17 27,200 On the first 320,000 42,700 Above 320,000 20 Source: http://www.iras.gov.sg/irasHome/page01.aspx?id=88 This post has been edited by L7Awesome: Mar 31 2011, 03:25 PM |

QUOTE(Andr3w @ Apr 6 2011, 09:41 PM) I think gotta write more how you have contributed to Singapore...like achievement part you can put charity or what you have done to work place because last time I was based in govertment school so easier to say what you have done .. Meaning that staying in JB vs SG might play a big part of the decision making process eh?When I went to apply 2nd time, it was very little people at ICA office compared to first time ..so don;t know is it because of that Also the difference from 1st time and 2nd time was I stayed in SG during the time fo 2nd application while first I was staying at JB Hope those helps |
