I heard that for those who work in Singapore for not exceeding 6 months would be charged a high tax rate by Singapore government, how much is it? If let's say we take an example of $2000 per month of salary and has worked for 5 months, that would be $2000x5=$10000. How about the tax calculation to this amount?

This website is useful. Is the answer get from here? http://www.iras.gov.sg/irasHome/page.aspx?id=1190#resident

Like the example above, worked for 5 months is less than 183 days, so the conclusion will be: this is categorized as non-residence thus neither relief nor rebate can be claimed and has to pay at a flat rate of 15%, $10000x15%=$1500 tax payable.

Am I right with the above conclusion? Perhaps someone can correct it for me?

However,


Based on progressive resident rates, only income more than $20000 p.a has to pay tax.

$1500 VS $0...

Pick the whichever is higher?
