ICA keep changing regulation. My colleague carried frying pan (still in box) kena taxed. LOL

Thanks for sharing~~

yea, that's the part that I am worry, they keep changing rules.
But anyhow my bike is not new, so hopefully no issue.

depends on clinic, I went to SATA on thursday 4pm and.collected my report on.the following Monday

I asked these questions before, and also asked ppl around me.
So far, i understand never have anything in box or still like newly package where u could be selling it.
if u remove the box it should be obvious that u wont be selling them.. then should be fine.

They didn't change any rule . Bring item in new box equal to writing tax me on your face .

Yup 15% tax is for those who worked less than 183 days...
Refer to the following link...

iras

Actually I flew in with a sound bar, which comes in a huge box and no one stopped me at Changi for GST or anything so I suppose it depends on luck?

JUST IN: Qualifying salary for Employment Pass applications to be raised from $3,300 to $3,600 from Jan 1, 2017

The change is part of the Manpower Ministry's (MOM) regular updating of the EP qualifying salary to keep pace with rising local wages, maintain the quality of Singapore's foreign workforce and enhance their complementarity to the local workforce, MOM said in a press release on Tuesday (July 26).

The previous minimum EP qualifying salary update was in January 2014, from $3,000 to $3,300. http://str.sg/4SNZ

MOM said it will provide lead time for businesses to make adjustments. Existing EP holders whose passes expire:

Before Jan 1, 2017: Will be able to renew, for a duration of up to three years, based on existing EP criteria.

Between Jan 1, 2017 and June 30, 2017 (both dates inclusive): Will be able to renew, for a duration of one year, based on the existing EP criteria.

July 1, 2017 onwards: Will have to meet the new criteria for renewal, for a duration of up to three years.

this is in anticipation of the COE tsunami coming in 2017-2018...
i guess eventually will be back to 90% 9 years max..

luckily just gotten my EP approved last week after waited for close to a month lol

Even if your EP is approved 31st December 2016 is still fine.
It only takes effect 1st Jan 2017.

But i believe not all employers will comply with such regulations. There's many people I've heard getting EP for less than 3k

your boss could either be honest, submit EP for less than the required salary, then see if MOM approve the EP, or...
submit fake salary declaration on the application form, which is a criminal offence.. up to your boss loh...

to comply or not, to approve or not, not our call..

What i understand, usually they dont check on cars do..
Just open and close ur car trunk..
So best if yu carry in car.

Says who? Never heard of anyone getting ep below the required minimum salary.

Also, I hope they don't raise the minimum required income to bring in family.. 5k is already ridiculously high. Wat the gomen of singapore think? Worker here meant as slave.. ? No time even for family..
