Economic contributions is part what ICA takes into consideration for Citizenship applicants. But what exactly count as economic contributions? Is it
a) salary income (showing consistent income and career progression)
b) total employment income (including phantom income from company stocks or benefits, which can actually make one's income look higher)
c) amount of taxes paid to IRAS (post-tax reliefs)
d) working in a sector that is deemed crucial to the nation's future (tech, biomanufacturing etc)
I'm planning to apply for citizenship in about 2 years. The reason I'm asking this is because I'd like to reduce my tax liabilities slightly (legally of course) by claiming CPF top-up and SRS reliefs, and if it turns out that the consideration for economic contributions is actually (c), then I'm worried it might hurt my chances in the future.
Has anyone managed to get your citizenship even after utilizing the various tax reliefs?
