Have you received your official SPM? If no, I doubt anyone will hire you. Fyi, trial SPM or the result slip is not accepted by MOE (As well as school leaving certificate). If that's the case, I am afraid you will need to try your luck using PMR.

Anyway are you below 21? If you are, you can't even enter casino. Let alone to work there.

You will be liable to pay tax if your work period is in between 60 - 183 days.

You can work first on work permit then continue study later at any SG schools. I've done that before.

Do you have student pass? Yes, you can apply to work part-time legally.

Else you need a work permit to work in SG.  If the gov get you, it is a illegal worker case. They can revoke your student pass and deport you. Why take the risk?

I think i did not say clearly yet
I wanted to apply for sg poly march next year
However now im already in sg using travel pass, still looking for job.

But i only able to work til march 2013 which isess than 183 days, mean will kena tax right ?

But i stop working is bcz i wanna start studying at sg poly(as student pass cannot work), so will i kena tax also ?

Strictly from a tax perspective, I think you will be liable to tax as a Tax Resident, under the criteria that you are :-

"a foreigner who has stayed in Singapore for 183 days or more in the year preceding the YA;"

The good news that as a Tax Resident (progressive tax rate), the final tax amount is often lower than a Non Tax Resident (15% flat) and the tax rate is 0% for the first SGD20,000 you make during the Year of Assessment (YA).

Not really understand the statement

Yes i wi be stay over 183 days +++ since im going to study in sg poly, however i am only able to workess than 183 day during the time when i hold a work permit.

Does it mean i wont kena 15% tax ?

Like what Quasi-Suave mentioned. He won't be liable to tax if he stays more than 183 days and earns less than 20K.

Let's say he worked for 3 months (90 days) and continue to study in SG (with student pass). He will be a resident staying in SG for more than 183 days (Working + Studying).

No tax.

yes, the situation is like what u said

so mean if i stay in SG with student pass afterwork, then no tax on my previous work salary?

Another thing to add. The HR will most likely deduct your pay for tax first as it is still uncertain that you will be staying for more than 183 days.

You can get tax refund later after you prove that you have stayed for 183 days.

understood this, will ask for more detail when i get to this stage

thanks alot guys smile.gif smile.gif notworthy.gif

I do have a question

I read somewhere in MOM, "Work Permit holder is not allow to drive in singapore unless your job scope is related to driving"

however im not sure it is refer to both car and motorbike or ONLY car ?

so my main question is, can a work permit holder ride a SG motor in SG ?

(of course after convert to SG license)
