Do employers usually include housing in their employment packages for expats on new job contracts? I'm a television producer/photojournalist going for an interview and would like to know what to expect in negotiating an package deal.
thanks!
Under Singapore tax law, it doesn't matter what it is called. If it ends up in your paycheck, it is taxable income. The company gives you S$5,000 for a ride home, it is taxable. The major exception, as I noted, is if the company gives you housing, which will not be taxable to you at the actual rent amount (generally - unless you are earning a very large shitpot of money).ricmacphoto wrote:all these are taxable? Including the trips back home and the car and medical support? Speaking of which... what is the usual medical pkg for expats?
thanks for info
There is no "usual". [Letting raw emotion run amok for a moment] - If you are some high falutin' investment banker that has already royally f&cked the economy but has made lots of money for a bank, you'll get an obscene salary, and a med package that gives you a private room in Houston, Texas, stocked with hookers, for even an hangnail [/End rant].ricmacphoto wrote:what is the usual medical pkg for expats?
