Hi everyone, may i know did you guys pay income tax to singapore?
i worked for 3 month at singapore, did i have to pay income tax for 2015 or clearance tax?

I heard some said if less than certain amount than no need to pay any tax.

No he will have to pay on every single cent earned because he will be taxed as non resident. He did not work 6 months to qualify for tax resident rates

I think you didn't state clearly a lot of info.

When did you start working in 2015?

Did you continue to work into 2016?

Have you left the job and return home?

All those have different implication on taxation

i started worked at september 1 2015, and resign at december 2015. And i didn't not continue work at 2016.
and i already left job and return home.

I read the iras website, it state that employer should files tax clearance ir21 after employee notice them that employee would like to resign.

My situation is like this, i submit my resignation letter to my ex-employer at 30.11.2015 and my employer directly told me they dont want me to work extra 1 month(notice period). Around few week ago, i received ir8a form from my employer for my tax submission so i email iras about whether i have to pay income tax and how to pay. The iras told me my employer failed to submit ir21 form, now require me to pay tax clearance.

May i know is tax clearance is different from tax income?

and my ex-employer filed the ir8a form section "Employee income tax borne by employer " like this. Am i still pay my income tax/clearance tax myself?

Anyone can help me icon_question.gif , i try talk to iras via email, but the representation keep circling my question...

Tax clearance is when you leave the country and want to close your tax file. It's the same thing as income tax basically, you still need to pay your taxes owed for when you worked in Singapore.

You said your employer forgot to file IR21 for you. Did they deduct your salary for tax as well? Did you stop work at 30 Nov or 31 Dec? Your employer hr could have been confused over the correct procedure.

Anyway, since your employer did not file IR21, you will need to do your own tax clearance. Please set aside 15% of your entire 3 month salary (including allowances, bonus, etc) to pay the tax.

You are lucky BTW, because this year onwards the tax rate is 22% biggrin.gif
