Income tax automatically out of my pay?
How come I never experience that before?
It's not declaring my earnings but paying my taxes -_-

In Oz, the tax is taken out of our pay automatically. So we have to file for tax return every year to claim some money back.

In Singapore you file your tax and they will send you a bill for you to pay -

You lose interest on your money this way, k. That's why it's the preferred way of taxation because the govt earns massive interest, and it's hard to elude taxes.
Singapore's income tax is a pittance, compared to most other countries.
Our IRAS is very efficient leh! So friendly, courteous and helpful! Last year, I informed them that I am no longer in Singapore and even though I have failed to provide the requisite form from ah Bear's organisation's website, they have kept the info on file and they know that I'm not paying taxes this year either!

I doubt the tax in Singapore is not as bad as Oz though. Last year, we started engaging an accountant to do our tax for us as our tax is getting more and more complicated.

Tax Return... the govt is also hoping that there will be idiots who will miss out on money they can otherwise get refunded simply because they don't know how to file a good tax returns! Harharhar!!

Apparently, a lot of Aussie bankers and financially-trained professionals are working in Singapore and Hong Kong, according to ... can't remember if it was The Age or The Herald Sun.
Ah well, it's always a breeze calling up service hotlines in Singapore. Here, it's a huge psychological warfare because I KNOW I have to keep calm in anticipation of all the waiting and polite, candyfloss words that are never kept as promised one.

Should tell the SC idiots that! They think that Medicare is "free".
Singapore's health system is actually world-class, in comparison. There is no such thing as a pefect healthcare system in the world, which is what they are asking for. Asking for, kpkb about, and yet not willing to fork out an extra cent for the services.
When they have to work extra hard, they kpkb if they are not immediately remunerated for it. Yet, when they demand extra services, they do not wish to pay others for providing it. They are all WBD's in there!
-
Oh, and honeymousey, those of us who don't have to pay a Medicare Levy fork out a huge amount for the Private Hospitalisation coverage for non-PR's. It's compulsory for me, and when I first came, it was AUD 145 a month for hospitalisation only. Now, it has gone up to AUD 165 / mth or so and it's only for hospitalisation and GP fees. No more than that. Bloody ex!!!
All driven up by bloody idiots who keep heading into hospital for no sickness other than what's in their own mind and then once admitted, they refuse to leave! -

Yeah that is the thingAnd you know how some people are so bochup
So if they don't file their tax returns, the Gov take their $$
