SG Tax for Employee Leaving the company

sary1200

Hello mga kabayan! pa guide naman po about sa tax,

3 months lng po ako sa work tapos aalis na ako at ipapacut koo na ang pass (S pass), may babayaran paba ako na tax nyan or wala na ? ano pa pong mga dapat kong pag handaan na mga bayarin?

RDG

Normally, automatic deduction yan sa final pay mo. The company will settle the tax. No need to worry about it.

expect muna malaki ung tax na idededuct sayo.. kung lilipat ka sa ibang company pwede mo yan irefund.

@RDG feeling ko po di yan sagot ng company namin kasi may umalis din 2 months ago, ung employee pa ang nag bayad ng tax nya, mga magkanao po kadalasan binabayaran na tax sir?

Admin

@sary1200 alam ko pag d ka umabot sa 20k wala kang babayaran na tax. wait mo muna ung sasabihin ng company mo.

RDG

@sary1200 , ok ganito yan. if 3 months ka lang nag work, hnd ka aabot sa minimum na taxable pay, which is S$22k per annum. You dont need to file an Income Tax Return.

RDG

Unles S$10k per month ka kabayan. hehe. sorry. bka Director ka pla ng company.

Maraming salamat sa inyo @RDG at @Admin @Vincent17 !! God Bless!

hindi rin. di applicable sayo ung 21k na limit kasi hindi ka considered na tax resident kung dka nagwork sa sg ng 182days.

kung 3mos ka lang nagwork, pasok ka sa 61-182days na 15% tax. so itotal mo ung kinita mo for 3mos, times 15% un ang tax na idededuct ng company sa last pay mo at ireremit sa iras. malaki yan.

if 60days and less ka nagwork, short term lang yan, wala tax.
if 61days-182days, non resident ka, 15% tax.
183days and more, considered tax resident, maliit lang progressive resident rate dpnde sa bracket mo. pero if di umabot sa 21k, wala tax.

pwede mo din search online ung iras tax calculator.

kahit lilipat po ng ibang company mag babayad parin po ng 15% sa total salary for 3 months? @maya

maya

babayad pa rin kasi required ung current company mo magfile IR21 at idededuct un sa last pay mo. pag lumipat ka, at nagfile na ulit ng tax para sayo ung new company mo, alam ko pwede marefund un. irerecompute ulit ung dpt na tax mo, tas makakakuha ka refund if sobra. iinform mo ba yang current company mo na lilipat ka? upon filing ksi, idedeclare nila kung uuwi kna or lilipat lang. pero ito, diko sure if may bearing sa computation.

maya

1st job mo ba yan?

RDG

Good job @maya . All the while, akala ko per annum. meron pla clause na 61 - 183 days. Pero alam ko matic na deduction kapag mag reresign ka. Nakaka 4 na resignation nako, hindi ko nman manually binabayaran yung IRAS. Auto deduct sa last pay @sary1200

sary1200

@maya opo first job, di ko po sinabi na lilipat ako kasi bka di papayag hawak kasi nila passport ko hehe. Salamat po!

@RDG ohhh I see, wala po kasing HR ung company, bale partner sila nung agency at ang agency na mag paprocess ng pag cut. Salamat sa exp kabayan!

maya

ganun nga @RDG , company magautodeduct nun sa employee bago irelease last pay nya. bale required magfile ng IR21 ang company, declaring ung income ng employee, after few days, makakreceive ng notification from iras ang company at ang employee kung magkano idededuct sa last pay. tapos company na magreremit nito sa iras. wala na gagawin employee.

diko din alam dati, nalaman ko lang sa una ko company na walang nagtatagal kht foreign workers hahaha. ang style jan, magresign bago mag60days kung ayaw nyo bayad ng whooping 15% tax. or wait ng 183days saka magresign, hehe.ito ay kung nasa 1st company ka pa lang.

maya

bakit hawak passort mo? bawal yan uy. report mo haha

sary1200

Maraming salamat sa detailed info @maya , may involve kasi na pera sa work baka daw takbuhin hehe.

@sary1200 kahit pa ano dahilan, against the law un.

Can an employer keep a worker's passport?
Employers should not keep the passports of their foreign workers or foreign domestic workers (FDWs). They should also not force their workers to give them their passport.

The passport belongs to the bearer and the issuing authority of the bearer’s country of origin.

According to the Passports Act, it is an offence to keep or withhold any passport which does not belong to you.

Good employers provide their workers with means to keep their passports and other belongings securely, such as a locker. The worker must have unrestricted access to the passport and belongings.

Workers whose employers insist on withholding their passport can contact MOM for assistance.
