People making RM3k per month pays around 3% of tax if I remember. 19% tax is for people who makes between 50k - 70k per month. 13% for Rm35-50k per month.Average M'sian dont earn that much. http://www.hasilnet.org.my/melayu/bm_NO2_1_1K.asp This post has been edited by luqmanz: Oct 29 2006, 01:39 PM |

Yea, it's according to your income bracket. I earn close to S$3k/mo and it's just 4% (or was it 3.5%?) tax for me last year. I spend moderately and even after big ticket spending (like vacations, computer stuff and my $$$ DSLR and lens), I can save close to 50% of my earnings.
Depending on your job, it can be either hell or heaven. For me, I'm just about getting used to hell. Otherwise, the environment here is very safe and secure and public facilities and amenities are tip-top. As to sian or not, it'll depend largely on the person. Why am I here in front of my computer on a fine Sunday afternoon?? |

When I worked in Singapore back in '99-03, my tax brackets were around 8% (after obtaining PR). Now, with 15% for non-resident, that's still considered low as compare to other countries.
Most MNCs in Singapore has a very good system for performers and if you work hard and smart, you'll get promoted and opportunities for growth will be opened (regardless of racial background or nationality). For those of you who are in IT, the opportunities in Singapore are still very good (esp. if you have experience). Singapore's IT infrastructre and network is twice or three times better than the "Multimedia Corridor" that Mahathir as built. I was impressed with most of the MNCs efficiencies, structures, and organisational styles. Yeah, you don't talk too much against their government (like Malaysia anyway) but they're opening up and more aware of their citizens' needs. My 4 years assignment in Singapore landed me a job in US when the company's US branch has an opening. Looking back, I would rather pay 15% for income tax as foreigner in Singapore than what I am paying in US (31%). If opportunity arises, I may return to work in Singapore one day.
