countries without GST are usually tax in some other ways.
I would rather pay higher tax in those country. At least I know when I am unemployed or poor at least there is a welfare system to help me to get by.Originally posted by mistyblue:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_haven
Do not believe what the news choose to let you know.
Did you feel great hearing that Singapore has a lower GST rate than Austria? But did you see the whole tax system in Austria to jump into any conclusion?
erm. Singapore is the only country in this world that take care of FT first before they take care of their own citizen.Originally posted by Zelphon:Yup...Australia has higher tax rates...
But the annual salary of their citizens is damn high as compared to singapore.
So in a sense, the high tax rate and the high income offsets each other.
Even the pizza delivery guy makes 16 Australian Dollars per hour.
Compare that to the SG$3 to SG$4 per hour a person makes in McDonald.
Then they have a WELFARE system. S'pore don't.
Who NOW TELL ME WHICH COUNTRY TAKES CARE OF IT"S CITIZEN BETTER !!?!?!
you choosen also no use.Originally posted by FireIce:i wonder why i not chosen to take part in any of these surveys.........
Why do the Opposition parties not run similar surveys if they do not believe the ST is running them independently?Originally posted by sermodabian:Its all filtered. The paper is just picking out the positive remarks of the GST hike. What to do? It's just a puppet anyway.
And who is going to publish them? You?Originally posted by oxford mushroom:Why do the Opposition parties not run similar surveys if they do not believe the ST is running them independently?
