Hi, if let say maximum Spass pay is 2.8k and minimum epass pay is 3.3k, what is in the middle? I mean if u got pay 2.9-3k? there is no in the middle?  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

the salary is not a hard guide
there will still be ppl on EP less than 3k or ppl on Spass earning more than 3k.
it is just a general guideline...there are a lot of other factors

So far paying $39.90 monthly, for 100mb/s, already due for recontract but let it be cause getting a fiber will increase the price to $49.90 and pretty troublesome if I were to relocate in future.
*

better check with starhub if they will maintain that pricing for u after contract expiry.
mine is expiring in jan...and it will not be the same price i am paying now (sgd28)
it will be at sgd50

I actually renewed the contract several months ago, but the customer service forgot to tag me as renewed. Hence I'm still eligible to recontract.

Price I'm paying? Remain as before. laugh.gif
really? Will try it next time. I remember need to give em a call so that they could change something on their side.

woops, touch wood. don't wanna kena relocate so fast. lul
*

when u say eligible for re-contract, u meant from the website/app right?
somehow for cable broadband....it always show Yes for eligibility...dun ask me why
i saw eligible, went to counter, they say not eligible.

by right u are suppose to update the service address (billing address is where to mail ur bill only)
i found out by accident when i wanted to recontract and the service address was the old address which i have moved out from more than a year.
moved a 2nd time, informed them after i moved.

You only resign from your current job when you have signed the new offer.
*

actually i have a question regarding this
when we first move to SG, the best time to resign is AFTER pass approved AND offer letter signed.
however, when we are already here on pass, when is the "correct" time to resign?
new pass cannot be applied unless existing pass is cancelled??!!
signing the offer letter does not ensure employment when pass can still be rejected...which leaves us in no man's land
so when exactly will be the best time?

CC offers a lot of activities

This you have to find out from your insurance company la. Great Eastern can claim but you have to pay upfront on your own first. I think most insurance company works the same. Worst case scenario if you got into accident, you die die take a cab over to jb hospital then you don't have to pay upfront lo..

last i asked, if u are out of MY for 3 months, they do not cover.
so every quarter u need go back or visit jb.

For the first 6 months, the rate is 15%. After that, it will be lower. Because the Gov didn't want foreigner to come here play play then leave.
*

that is wrong
Your first 6 months pay is not taxed by 15%
u will only be taxed 15% if you do not qualify as a tax resident

Enlighten us please...
First six months : _________________%  e.g. 0%, 1%, or 10%
six months above to one year : ______%

Your information will be appreciated. Thanks
*

tax % is based on the amt you earn, not the duration you work...with the exception of the tax resident requirement.
even if you are taxed as a non tax resident for the first year, if you continue to work in SG, you can get the excess that you have paid as they will convert you to a tax resident.

Let's assume that the basic salary is SGD 3k:
How much he's going to pay for the first to sixth month?
How much he's going to pay for the seventh to twelfth month?

Please do not reply any if your answer is something like read the MOM website, if the guideline is clear, we dont have to ask here. Thx in advance
*

tax is calculated once per year
there is no PCB unlike in MY where you pay in advance..but there is the GIRO plan which splits evenly the amout you owe.
if u are still asking the % for the first 6 months and the % thereafter, i gif up as that is a very dumb question
u can use the calculator to calculate yourself.

Just asking for PR application.
For the Annex A, which department of the company we need to ask from?

Besides that, one of the requirement is to have Income Tax Notices of Assessment for the last 3 years, does it means we need to work for three years, then can apply?
*

first question...HR.
2nd question, no...6 months payslip is more than enuf.
if you have the income tax assessment notice, just append
personally, i think better chances if u have at least 1 notice showing u paid tax before.

Does anyone know how to convert foreign license to Singapore caas license? What r the requirements? What exam to be taken? What is the required experience? How long does it takes to convert?
*
this is what i went thru last time
1. Take BTT
2. After pass, go to JPJ to take your license extract (RM10 for the extract....not sure whether the price has increased or GST is applicable or not)
3. Bring the extract and go to specific Traffic Police Counter (I think there is 1 in Bedok, 1 in Woodlands, 1 in Bukit Batok) and pay SGD50.
4. License sent to your home in 2 weeks (I think).

Car Lease for a while COE drop to reasonable level ( 20 - 30k ) can get 1 d .
