Are you sure about that?Saint wrote:Legally, no
I recall it being ok to the spouse on DP to keep his/her old job back wherever they come from if it can be done remotely from home to back to company overseas. It of course doesn't mean that you can go to work at the Singapore office of the same company if they have one.
I can find at least one earlier discussion which seems to come to different conclusion: http://forum.singaporeexpats.com/ftopic56544.html
or has things changed since 2009?

PPF, you are correct. All the work must be done for the employer in the other country and that employer cannot have a subsidiary company in Singapore either. No business may be transacted on behalf of the foreign company with Singapore companies or people resident in Singapore. However, while this is okay with MOM, IRAS still sees it as performing work in Singapore and deems it taxable to Singapore even though you don't need a working pass to do so. (two different ministries).
