Can I still enter SG even if my income tax wasnt paid
Can I still enter SG even if my income tax wasnt paid
I used to work in Sg in 2007. I had a dispute with my company and decided to go back to my home country after 6 mos. My company wanted to stay in fact they offered an increase and told them I have to fly home first and think abt the offer. I decided to resign via email and my boss wanted me to go back to fir another talk. Told them that its unnecesarry and my decision is final. Btw, i left because of their management style. My boss said that he will not issue my clearance and i have to pay my taxes. I was surprised that tax in Sg. In short, i havent paid my income tax up until now and never got a clearance fr the company. I wanted to visit Sg again however im worried that ill be refused to enter Sg because of my unresolved employment status and income tax. Is my fear valid? How can I clear up my name?

Yeah, this. Your company may owe you money (Unless you had a mandatory notice period in your contract that you forfeited on)x9200 wrote:For 6 months of working if this was your entire SG employment that FY your taxes may be minimal or no taxes at all depending on your income. Why don't you contact IRAS and clarify it with them?

Lots of incorrect information being put out in this thread........
1. You only have no tax liability IF you worked and were in Singapore for less than 60 days.
2. If you were here more than 60 days but less than 183 days you will be taxed at a flat rate of 15% regardless of how little or how much you earned.
3. If you were here more than 183 days, then you will be taxed at regular resident rates.
4. It is the employers responsibility to pay your taxes and deduct the taxes paid from your final salary. However, if you did a runner, and the employer was not able to return your work pass, then, in all probability, you name/passport number and face will be registered as a tax dodger and in all likelihood, one of the three will flag ICA when you enter the country.
5. As you did a runner, the employer would probably avoid liability for not timely filing the IR-21 as you didn't officially quite according to what you wrote, but went home and would think about it. Therefore, in all probability, the burden of proof would fall you you.
