Hey. I got a few doubts to clarify, hope all the sifu can give guidance.
I know work in Sg pay tax in Sg, no need pay Malaysia to avoid double taxation, but will we get the benefit that the taxpayer here get? Like can buy low-cost house, property, car etc etc?

QUOTE(PepsiCo @ Jun 9 2014, 01:10 PM) since when buying car and house is benefits ? Those like low cost house. Cause I heard cannot take loan if no income or whatever, if never pay income tax, when buy property they sometimes will come ransack your house and ask for income tax payback. So if working in Sg, can entitle to these loans and stuff? Especially the low cost house.

QUOTE(JohnJon82 @ Jun 9 2014, 03:53 PM) If you talking about the low cost house in Malaysia, Pr1ma for example, then you need Malaysia's income tax to prove that you are within the range. Declare jobless then not entitled. You can't pay for the loan if you are jobless. Gahmen are not that stupid, many overseas working people thinking the way you do trying to make good use of our parent's tax money. If working in Singapore, you can get loan for Malayisa's private house, car, secured personal loan those no problem. Some problem with my Malaysia credit card application previously though. Thanks for clarification. Actually have to work in Singapore because of some study bond, and have to pay back study loan somemore, so kinda no money, planning to get a low cost housing for first house. What I know is every first time buyer can entitle to one low-cost house, but I don't know if it works for those that are Malaysian but work in Singapore, but got file in income tax.

QUOTE(crapp0 @ Jun 10 2014, 10:33 AM) I doubt you can get a condo single room rented out at 800-1.2k in the sommerset area. My friend who is renting in toa payoh is already paying $700 for a single room and its just a HDB unit. Singapore housing is so expensive. I used to rent $580/month for two people, one of us have to sleep on the floor on mattress somemore. My money is gone just like that.

QUOTE(crapp0 @ Jun 10 2014, 12:23 PM) Dont you get housing allowances? Im currently on a project in korea on and off again basis and my company has provided me with a apartment in busan since i may stay there for months at a time and its cheaper than renting a hotel. A know a friend who was lucky enough that his rich aunt left him to use her condo in sommerset. I am inquiring if i can rent a room from him for cheap. Studying and poor.  No hostel when I study in polytechnic, hopefully can stay in hostel during uni. But next time come out work, money going to disappear again.

QUOTE(cherryl9 @ Jun 10 2014, 02:48 PM) wow, bad news for me then! i don't have 1k, so i think i will let them "telan" $2 first. Yepp. $2 is still okay, after you got enough, top it up so no more deduction. It's like sacrificing a cup of coffee while letting for the rain to pass.
