My fren gonna be coming over to work as engineer.

He is from Singapore. I told him he better come before June 2009, so that his stay here for the year 2009 will be 180 days, thus when time comes for assessment in April 2010, his 2009 income can claim relief and will be on multi-tiered scale.

SInce our salary are deducted with tax in advance, I told him for 1st 6mths, he will be taxed very badly at 28%.

But once he qualifys as resident, and after the assessment for 2009 is done in April 2010, he should get some tax money back (as his income works out to RM60k per year, and in lower tax bracket).

Did I provide him with the correct info?

U guys know how long it takes to refund? i heard many people said it takes forever! But from your experience?
