Hello Everyone
Would like to seek some advice from anyone with the same case or have similar experience to me.
I'm a Malaysian Chinese and my PR Application has been approved last week and I am in the midst of collecting the supporting documents to complete my application.
My problem is, when I applied for it, I applied as a single applicant, however I recently got Married back in Malaysia, So I am wondering if I should declare my change in marital status in my REP?
My wife has also applied for the PR as a Single and awaiting results, would my declaration affect her application?
Thanks very much in advance for any of your help!

Marital Status for REP
Re: RE: Marital Status for REP
You need to notify ICA ... If nothing, at least to get note tax credits as married means, less taxes.atchean wrote: Thanks very much in advance for any of your help!
As for your wife's application, it would be proper to inform ICA, but when you notify ICA, you can include her Fin #, so ICA will update the records.
You got married in Singapore or Malaysia?
Re: Marital Status for REP
Thanks Ecureilx for your quick response..
I got married in Malaysia.
Out of curiosity would there be a chance they could ask me to reapply again as married instead?
Cheers

I doubt it. No clue and haven't heard of ICA asking to reapply because marital status changed.atchean wrote:

thanks very much for your advice..
Will share my outcome once I have processed everything and hopefully would benefit others who are in the same boat too.

Re: RE: Marital Status for REP
Am I missing something here? How will being married help to get tax credits if she is also working and filing her own tax return? If she was single and also applying for PR as a single person, it pretty much means she has been employed for some time in SG. The tax rates are the same.ecureilx wrote:You need to notify ICA ...

The earned income dropped when the status changed to married. Let me look up the fine print tomorrowsundaymorningstaple wrote: Am I missing something here?

By the way, wasn't it compulsory for Ep holders to notify MOM when there is change of status ? That's what OP was asking.
PS, edited : SMS is correct !!!!
o claim this relief, you must satisfy these conditions:
Your spouse is living with or is supported by you; and
Your spouse does not have an annual income* exceeding $4,000 in the previous year. This condition does not apply to handicapped spouses.
As for change of status, from MOM:
You need to inform us of changes in personal particulars, such as marital status and passport details (e.g. passport number, name or date of issue).
To update the details, complete the Request Form for Amendment of Personal Particulars and submit it through iSubmit, along with the supporting documents mentioned in the form.
