Imagine 10% service tax + 7% GST + 1% cess
18% leh
Take away the service tax since there is not much service anyway and the resturant will not give the service tax to the staff. -
Actually you pay more than 18%, because 10% service charge and 1% cess is before 7% GST.Originally posted by zeny:What is the point of service tax?

Food: $1.00
10%: $0.10
1% : $0.01
-----------------
sub----$1.11
7%-----$0.08
-----------------
Total $1.19
==========
So your taxes and cess paid is approximately 19%, not 18%. -

Looks like another brain washing session tonight, can't escape it, it's on every channel of our government TV station. -
The PAP's stance on welfare tells me that tonight's initiatives will be little different from status quo.Originally posted by maurizio13:Mr Lee will focus on issues like tackling the widening income gap, improving the CPF and housing policies and how to prepare for an ageing population in his rally speech.

TS if you are hoping the PM Lee will talk about the above so that NATO whiners like you can give excuses to criticise the government, we will be very disappointed.Originally posted by maurizio13:What do you guys thing our eminent ruler will talk about?

But given their past records, I think it's unlikely.

Personally for me, I won't be watching his speech tonight... because I want to be able to fall asleep peacefully....
I'll read about it tomorrow with lots of coffee... -
As usual, I am not watching, I have other better more interesting programme to watch on cable or go out. Just will read what crap he talks. Personally, I don't like his face and voice, put me off. Can't sit for 45 mins/30 mins or more to watch and listen to him.Originally posted by HyperFocal:Personally for me, I won't be watching his speech tonight... because I want to be able to fall asleep peacefully....

I guess alot of propaganda as usual, then he justify his policies, then all the MIW applause.
Those poodles are very faithful and obedient. -
i almost forget is tonight
-
Maybe he'll talk about Singapore as a need to be an Educational and Biomedical Research and Development Hub.
And also same like last year, he might talk about the rapid aging population issues in Singapore. In addition he might also cover the need to medical caregivers like Nurses.
Etc. -
Anyone saw Creative CEO? I think he is among the invited guest.
