If you guys are so concerned about tax, i can ask the IRAS commissioner when I meet him in late Nov, but as I said earlier, it's best to keep the salary discussions discreet.

The Multiplier has a table indicator to show if the experiments are successful. Perhaps can try that on your own.
You are a HR Professional?

What is being discussed has nothing to do with BNE tracking!

There is zero chance of this being taxed. You guys can try asking ChatGPT or Gemini
Thanks for the reply, altho you did not mention why?

Another professional can provide the reason why. But I will not continue with the topic, it should stop here! 🤫

I think ultimately govt is to catch those who under declared. U can always show proof explain to them it is yr own transfer not income if u r flagged.
I would think immediate consequences is kena clawback interests by DBS
Income tax is very grey liao…..simi substance or form i simply catch no ball :s13:

Don't know why anyone would think it'll be taxed.
In some other countries the banks have to do some tax reporting for its account holders. For example in US the banks need to issue tax-payers (and send to the IRS) a Form 1099-INT if the interest they pay their account holders meets the reporting threshold so that they can appropriately declare in their tax returns as (unlike SG) bank interest is taxable there.

I guess that others may be concerned that “income” received in their bank account may similarly be reported to IRAS, which isn’t the case for the average local except perhaps for tax audit or cross border reporting where relevant (eg. CRS/FATCA).

You're conflating different reporting requirements, what's in scope to be taxed, and the practice of income being withheld upfront.

Thanks for summarising it so succinctly. That’s basically my point. The uninformed may be conflating all these different reporting requirements which is why they ask these weird questions on whether they will be taxed if they transfer as “income”.

Imo self manufacture 1.6k (UOB) vs 30k got huge difference.
DBS system may flag it if they deem fit?

I don’t think anyone here can guarantee anything.

If scared/uncomfortable (like me), then try other means or be contented with 2.1-2.4%

This is rubbish under Income tax reporting for SoleProprietorship!

Admin should delete all fake information on this topic!

Are you a HR professional?
Are you employed?
Do you submit yearly income tax returns?

If your answer is Yes to any of the above, you should know the answer to the question asked here! It is basic knowledge!
