What do you mean by your wife won't be taking a salary paid in the UK? Do you mean it will be paid into a Singapore account? If so this is actually illegal in Singapore unless your wife has the appropiate employment pass/ set up a Singapore company etc etc.symodan21 wrote:Also my wife runs a web business in the UK and will continue to do so from Singapore but wont take a salary that will be paid in the UK.
I mean she has a web based business that she will keep a salary in the UK, paided into our UK bank account (this will help cover things in the UK like Mortgage payments if we dont rent), this will be sub the UK tax level the profit gets re invested each year to grow the business. So I believe it will be below the Singaporian level of $22K a year as well. I will have to check out the local law properly of courseSaint wrote:What do you mean by your wife won't be taking a salary paid in the UK? Do you mean it will be paid into a Singapore account?

If they're not being too stingy and asking you what you need then I'd be inclined to tell them this:symodan21 wrote:Thanks JayCee, normally I wouldnt want to give my salary details, but I think in this case its worth to do so because then I can see what my actually worth should be.
I was basing my 7.5K on after tax, I used a gov spredsheet. I would hope for a salary of between 100-120K
We see this as a posting rather than a life long move, and we have been through a similar experience of going to the USA (North Carolina Hot and Sticky) before it fell through weeks before the visa was due. so in our minds we have a good feel for what it takes to move.
If anyone knows what a Sales Manager covering Sing and SE Asia should expect, realistic! Then Id welcome the feedback as the company told me you tell us what you need salary wise. But I cant just say $200K as thats double what I get now! I dont think there that keen!
