Got laid off and have to pay tax

[Bafana]

Tax Clearance is a !@#%$ but thems the breaks.

Have just finished up my tax and got hit hard.

How hard it was?
I hope it's not that hard and i am still waiting too.

30% up on last years tax probably because of how the office wrote up the final pay and holiday layout as bonuses).

30% from total income for one year or 30% from 1 month salary.
If for total 1 year it is quite hard.

My total 1 year around 27k.
30 % could be $8100.

4 times higher from my one month salary.

ydnerendy,

Please go back and read the links I provided to you in the beginning.

Additionally, when the tax clearance is finalized by Inland Revenue, you won't have to worry about your Employer screwing you as Inland Revenue sends both the employee and employer a tax statement declaring how much your tax liability is. Therefore, if your employer tries to deduct more then you have reason to revert to IRAS to have them sort it out.

There is NO EP TAX,

There is NO STUDENT/TRAINING TAX,

There is ONLY INCOME TAX and the IRAS will send you a statement as to how much is required to be paid by your employer. The balance of your final salary should then be remitted to you.

If your income was 27K/p.a. then your taxes would be around S$186 for 2008, and if it was the same for 2007 then around S$245 or less than $500 for the two years. Don't sweat it.

Oh...btw...does tax calculation starts once you got ur IPA or the EP 'card' from MOM....

[sundaymorningstaple]

For purposes of computing the 183 days to be able to use resident status for tax rates it's from the date of entry into Singapore (as chopped in your passport) and not from the date of your EP or IPA. It is computed on the total number of day "IN" Singapore and not the number of days "WORKED" in Singapore.
