Oh yeh mate! For sure its a tax heaven. In Aus if u earn 50k a year (which is easily achievable) you'd be paying tax through the roof! And thats a position which isnt that of a senior rank. Plus dont forget your super. AS far as eating out, despite going to a somewhat fancy restaurant, its still considerably cheaper than in Aus (well in Melb anyways). The amount of tax that i'd pay in Singapore is peanuts compared to what i pay in Aus.dinki di wrote:Hi
I am from Australia and have found that in my profession, we get paid much better here than in Australia but only when you get to the senior ranks. Plus the tax rates here are so much friendlier! So by moving here with my job, I have almost doubled my take-home pay - taking into account taxes and forex exposure.
Cars cost a fair bit here though ... even taking out a long term lease on one is quite onerous. Eating out is expensive here as well - apart from hawker fare.
Also it may be worthwile to seek to hedge your forex exposure as well.

Sorry to say but you are actually wrong here. Maybe there are not as many as there use to be but there are still a significant numbers of caucasians on "expat terms" out here. Contracts with terms similar to local contracts are however more and more comon. Besides that, an expat is actually just someone who lives/settled down in a foreign country so yes maid, workers and so on are also expats just not on "expat terms" as you describe them.Hesione wrote:Most caucasians in Singapore tend to refer to themselves as expats. However, 99.9% of them are on local salaries.
There is hardly any caucasian here still on the expat package, which would include housing, kids' school fees, first class tickets to their country of origin for the entire family annually etc. So please, please, please stop referring to yourselves as expats. It is "inward/reverse racism". I feel really sad for you.
99.9% of all caucasians I know have been sent here by their company in their respective home countries on time limited contracts. Maybe that does not go for some of the people using this message board but guess thats why they are using this board in the first place...Our government opened up the doors to you as "foreign talents(?)" to make us more competitive, many of you have not been expatriated by the companies that you work for from your country of origin; you came here looking for a job.
Well lucky you....I am earning over $120,000 annually (after tax and after my portion of the CPF deduction) working in the advertising industry, earning far more than double what my "foreign talent" partner earns. That should give most of you an indication as to whether your pay package is good enough for you to want to be in Singapore.
That's a very good salary by most Singaporean standards. Why do you think it's "really low"? Is it less than you're earning now?meth wrote:I am an IT contractor living in Uk earning around £500 GBP and was offered a 2 year contract (which has now turned out to be permanent role) in Singapore but tha salary seemed really low at SD$120,000
