2) What other forms of income did you earn? IE Before Aug were you working at another job? Commission is taxable, dividends unless tax exempts...
Add your salary earned income for YE 2003 which is Jan - Dec 2003 + other income <20K No need to file taxes.
Even if IRAS sends your friend a B1 form or other tax forms, he does not need to fill it up unless he earned more than 20k that year in earned and other income.

Nope if you earn less than 1.5k in earned income as in salary and you have no other forms of income. You do not need to efile or report your income since you earn less than 20k in a year, you will never be taxed.Originally posted by Ah Ma:nono sometimes u earn less than 1.5k or wat aso need to efile...i think if they nv send u income tax form no need to efile lar
