I'm an EP holder, do I have to pay tax?

[Chrise]

Hi I have just started working here on an Employment pass. Can someone please advise if I am liable to pay income tax, and if so what is the pecentage.

Yep! No doubt about it. Check out IRAS web site. and you will get to know how much to pay.

This Inland Revenue links should answer all your questions:

...and for most people on most salaries, your taxes will be under 10%, payable as monthly installments.

and dont forget that you dont have to pay tax on days worked over seas!.
So, for example, if you have to return to headquaters in another country for a meeting or work on projects over seas do while you/ your company is based in Singapore. You don't pay tax.

Quite handy for people like myself who travel a lot or at least used to.

Good luck

...if a) your tax percentage is above 10%, AND b) you go above a certain threshold (100 days? can't remember), AND c) you started working in Singapore after a certain date, AND d) are not a citizen (three cheers for EP/PR!).
