hi all sifus, hopeful to get an answer for my situation.
i have been working as a seafarer on foreign going ships for the past 10 years.
company is based in Singapore.
haven't declare any income tax since i started working as i was told back dont have to pay income tax when i started.
however now having trouble applying for loans.
was thinking to get a pin number
maybe could ease on loan approval.
how can i explain if LHDN ask where i have been for the past 10 years?
could anyone advice if i should bother creating a pin.
or how should i proceed?
thanks you in advance for your insights.

What is your purpose of buying a property ?

Do you need the property ? Need and want are different.

Is renting not an option ? It could be cheaper and flexible.

Are you still with the current co ?

Sometimes, ownership is false security.

understand that part about property.
probably just to have my own home.
i think that should be in a different thread.

as for company, i would say no.
company is bought over by french co.
but then agency that manage us is singapore co.
hope you can understand the complications.

Creating a pin doesnt auto you qualify for a loan. Banks now look at epf as well as they know income declaration can be forged.

No credit history is not better than bad credit history..

You might need to work locally for few years to qualify as banks wants to see local income.

Work for year and submit your tax and epf. See how it goes from there.

ok so lets take the loan out of the question.
how about avoiding a letter from LHDN
it seems like most of the time when receiving letter from LHDN.
its not a happy thing.
so i think i just want to avoid paying extra from whatever i required to.

You cannot take the loan out of the question. If you dont buy a property and take a loan  lhdn wont know you have money.

Only when you start spending on big items like car or property, then you be noticed.

That is why I ask earlier whether you need the property ?

ok understood. big items. so if i just put my wife name and buy a house.
then maybe she will be audited.
i think definitely sooner or later i would need a house for my family.
cant be renting all the way.
im not sure about your opinion/idea on owning a house/having a family.
