Then u are definitely tax payer this year. Perhaps u should find out more from your friends, or colleagues or HR on this matter. U need to find out is your company under auto-inclusion scheme and are u on no-filling service. If u are on no-filling service, then no action is require until u receive notification of assessment. U will know how much payable tax for last year that time.

I just login to SingPass and just link it with my mobile.

Done that which I was suppose to do last couple of weeks but forgetten after registering for 2FA.

I log into IRAS using my SingPass.

Check my tax status. "No Filing Services" for Assessment Year of 2017. I wonder where is 2016 year...

check through INDIVIDUAL tab.

"You are not required to file your current year Income Tax Return.

Your Notice of Assessment for Year of Assessment 2017 will be sent to you based on the income information transmitted to IRAS by your employer and your relief claims for last year, if any.

Generally, most taxpayers should receive their Notice of Assessment by September."
anyway, yea I would do a giro auto deduction if possible. paying tax for the whole year can be rather painful...eventho sg tax is much lower if im not mistaken as compare to msia.

well if that is the case, I will only apply for PR next yr then after paying my tax 

feel like the company is paying me 17% less which is alot if I am not a PR!

That is correct. Assessment Year of 2017 refers to 2016 tax assessment, in MY we called is EA Form 2016.
Read this one u will have your questions answered: https://www.iras.gov.sg/irashome/Individual...-Your-Tax-Bill/
What I mean is that u will start pay tax this year, for 2016 income assessment. NOA will come to u anytime now till Sept.

Hmm...you submitted your application in Nov and that was after paying just 1 month tax?
Meaning you started paying tax in Oct? That's a weird time frame

thx for the details and info

gonna sign up for GIRO

once that is done, wait for the NOA.

got that, I can apply for PR

thinking that my company is paying me less 17% is causing me some discomfort LOL

or rather, looking forward to that "17% increment"

You sure about this??

looking forward to that "20% deduction"

Hi, what should be the salary range for product development engineer with 8 years experience at SG? SGD5k? My next level in my career path is a manager.

Also, i can't remember if it's PR or citizenship, which one is the one that we need to let go of our properties in Malaysia?

Thanks.

There is no minimum but at least 6 months and above as one of required doc is 6 months payslip. From what I heard, Malaysian have higher chance of getting PR compared to other countries as our culture, language, etc are almost the same which is an advantage to assimilate and localise to SG.
Print one side, it does matter. Formal doc should not be in two sided, exception e.g. appendix, glossary etc.
For myself, I submitted few months ago and not even close to one year in SG, result is still pending so can't say its right choice but good luck to me. Haha.
I don't think it works this way. Unless your YE2016 income is less than SGD22k? Otherwise, its mandatory to file your tax return. I saw u mentioned u worked almost a year in SG, assuming 9 months x 2.5k = 22.5k.
Nevertheless, suggest u to read up SG tax and at least basic knowledge, it doesn't work the same as MY tax except the progressive part.

+1
Haha, in other word, 20% deduction of gross income. In long-run and to retire in SG is okay, but not so long-run may be headache too when it comes to leaving and want to withdraw the money. At least, may not be an issue for IwanAGP 
U can check salary range via Glassdoor etc. Personally I think range is quite huge when it comes to skillset and expertise u have. If u are "top top" SGD5k is quite low for 8 years of experience. How much do u earn in MYR?

I believe its both, because of eligibility to own HDB.

from what I heard, if you are willing to let go off your PR status, then you can withdraw all your CPF amount which applies to Peninsula ppl.

Sabahan Sarawakians have different condition as compare to Peninsula ppl

You got it the other way round. Sabah Sarawakian allow full withdrawal of CPF. West Malaysian must wait til 50 yo

Huh?

I got mention after paying just 1 month tax?

I mean I applied after paying just 1 time income tax. My second income tax for 2016 will only be coming this year.

I applied after 2 years 2 months working in SG. First 4 month in 2014 total less than 20k so no kena tax. Last year July paid for 2015 so although I'm here for more than 2 years I paid tax just once.

 

Oh is it? even after letting go off my PR? i still have to wait until 50yo?

I do know that Sabah and Sarawakians can withdraw in full but I tot they dun have to let go PR and still able to withdraw lumpsum
