Hi everyone!
I am DP. I applied LOC from MOM and being waiting. I would like to ask about something:
- benefits can I have?
- do I have to pay taxes.
Thank you very much.

Benefits?
You can get employed.
Pay taxes?
Yes of course! If you are residing in Singapore, you do need to pay taxes on your income as per the applicable tax rates.

^^ That is exactly what I typed earlier and then though I'm already known as a straight shooter, I'll let somebody else say it, so deleted it. Spot on. LOL

Employer applies for LOC, not you. Perhaps that's what you meant?
