Hi, I'll soon be applying for an EP, but I'm not sure if I will qualify for a P1 or a P2. My basic salary alone will be below 7K, but with the housing allowance it will be over, any ideas? Does base salary include housing, and just exlude non-fixed bonuses? I know on the government site they refer to base salary, but the SG Tax office also refer base salary (yet include housing allowance).

Manay Thanks.
