Wanna work in SG, got an offer from Msia company to go down there, but when ask for more details like tax rate etc, they are not providing, ask me to direct ask the supervisor over SG during my first day there. This is dangerous.

Also, if I am to apply for a job in SG, wonder what is my expected salary range.
3 years working exp in Management (Business development)
Degree in Marketing.

Of course salary is not determined by exp and education, it depends on job. But your job depends on exp and education level. So it definitely relates.
Not just tax, what about things like epf etc, I've came to understand that some company promises a salary before the tax deduction (charged to employer), this is not suppose to be the case as that cost is supposed to be taken care of by the company. They should inform you of the real salary (not sure if you get what I mean).

Unable to give me an answer regarding the above is rather intriguing to me as my previous jobs has no problem sharing these details with me before joining.

Lastly they should be able to clearly inform me of my take home etc, but they don't even want to tell the limitations etc to the allowance given (they only said 50% deduction in one of the allowance if we are not able to achieve KPI, when I probe further, no answer was given)


This I agree and looking at the 91, I can only assume its his birth year.

Yes, I do understand this. But when probing on tax, what I want to know is just the tax that is enforced unto the employer, I just need to know that the salary offered is really the salary given, don't want SGD 3000 offered, but end of the day, they say SGD700 paid for tax etc.
The reason why I want to clear this is after checking with some friends over there, they say they have seen similar cases and adviced me to be sure that I won't end up in that situation. Proper management will tell that the salary is SGD2300, and not SGD3000.

Yes, I know my personal tax won't be that high.

Because this is what I've learnt from my friends in SG, one of them was actually in this situation before, and due to contract, can't resign within 2 years. There is a tax/fees that the employer is charged, but they include it into your total salary, so they can say they are offering SGD3000 instead of SGD2300. My friend's case and some of their friends faced these issue. I just want to clarify this with the company that is offering me, and they have been avoiding some of my question leading me to be a little worried.

Don't think its withholding, because my friend never got the money back. She was conned into it, and since she already signed contract and agreement, resigning within one year will result in penalty. That was a painful year.Though it happen quite some time ago, so maybe these sort of things don't happen anymore, but nevertheless, gotta be on my guard right.

Care to share how is it illegal, was thinking of renting one, especially Studio.

A company asked for my details, I passed them my degree, they don't want it, they say they just accept SPM.. Now I have to go Ministry of Edu to get it. But the thing is I lost the job offer already. So anyone know of any offers around, Channel or Business Development. Or any corporate (B2B) sales job would be nice
