The personal income tax stuff is pretty straightforward... you generally pay income tax in the country in which you are working.Spottyb wrote:Will chat with my employer over the next few weeks once my husband's job offer is finalised.

Australian income tax is levied on tax residents of Australia. I would seek non resident status in Australia (it's relatively straight forward and plenty of advice out there but basically don't maintain a home in Australia and work outside for at least 90 days). If you on a salary and doing PAYE you need to have that salary directed to an entity / country where the Australian paying entity does not have to deduct income tax for the ATO. IF you were working as a contractor with an ABN and receiving income and then paying tax on it in Australia you may have a slightly more complex situation - in this case I would shift the contract to an offshore person or entity. As for super you can make voluntary contributions while non resident I believe.Strong Eagle wrote:The personal income tax stuff is pretty straightforward... you generally pay income tax in the country in which you are working.Spottyb wrote:Will chat with my employer over the next few weeks once my husband's job offer is finalised.

However, perhaps PNGMK will chime in here about Oz Superannuation programs... life is much more complicated there, and he knows all about it.
I am not a lawyer, and, I am almost certain that you will need an EP to work for the company. The reason is this: The chances are very high that the Singapore company is a private limited company with all the stock wholly owned by the parent company in the USA. Therefore, the company has a legal presence in Singapore, therefore you must have an EP.wfhmom wrote:Hello,
There have been plenty of threads on this topic and also I went on MOM website and researched. However, I have a slightly different issue and help would be much appreciated.
My husband and I are US Citizens and my husband is currently on EP here in SG and I arrived in Singapore on DP; past Monday. My company in US, still wants me on board and continue working remotely (part time for 3 months - my request and then go back to being full time). I would be reporting to my department and company in US. Everything seemed to be okay until last week.
My company has an office here in Singapore and though i would not be working or reporting to the Singapore office, there seems to be some legal issues and HR on both sides are dragging their feet. Since Singapore office is saying that there are legal issues involved; I am trying to understand what they are.
I would appreciate some advise and information. Would I be able to continue working if I got Letter of Consent? Can I work on DP for US company without getting the Singapore Office involved? What are my options so I can still work? Do I need to be full time to get LOC or able to work? What are the tax implications? Do I still pay taxes to both countries?
Please advise.
Thank you!

my question is along the same lines I am a US citizen going to Singapore on DP pass and my husband a EP. My US company has no presence in the Singapore or does business there they would like to keep me on working for them remotely until they hire my replacement and pay me as an independent contractor. Do I need to set up an entity or register in US or Singapore before they could pay me? is there anything I should be aware before we proceed?
Thanks
