Hi everyone,
Would like to get some insight as this will allow me to make some informed decision.
Started working in Singapore in August last year. Then I change company in November. I should be confirmed within this month and am expecting to receive a raise about 10%. I am commuting daily from JB and on the weekend go back to Perak to be with my wife and kids.
Now, when I was applying for job back in October I applied to hundreds of company and now 1 of them come back to me. They want me to be base in Malaysia office. But payroll will be under SG entity and they will apply work permit for me. I want to know what is the tax implication? Do I declare in MY or SG? If I declare in MY I will lose a lot because there's no 1)EPF for me and 2) will cause taxable income whigher. The annual salary is less than 40K SGD so I will be paying less tax in SG compare to Malaysia. But if I declare tax in SG, monetary wise will be advantageous for me due to 1) less tax and 2) will be able to eliminate 2000 i put aside just for my expenses in johor, going to work, food by myself.
First SGD40K is tax at SGD550 whereby first 100K is tax at 10,700.
I found this statement below. Do I fall under individual who exercise an employment?
Individuals who are physically present or who exercise an employment (other than as a director of a company) in Singapore for 183 days or more during the year preceding the year of assessment are treated as residents for that year of assessment.
Hope i can get some advice on this.
7 years ago, I got posted from SG to be based in KL for 1 year.
I was paid in SGD while based in KL. I need to declare income in both MY and SG. MY income tax part was handled by the company.
Best to seek your company on income tax.
