LOL... I serve NS in 2007 and 2008, and my dad recently received
a letter asking him to pay more taxes... Cos... I do not qualify
for Qualifying Child Relief (QCR)...
Found out from the IRAS website,
http://www.iras.gov.sg/irasHome/page04.aspx?id=214
The qualifying child must –
With effect from Year of Assessment (YA) 2010
onwards, the income threshold has increased from $2,000 to
$4,000NEW!.
Though my dad is paying, I just find it a bit ridiculous
leh....
We serve 2 years of NS, and were only given NS allowances, but
suddenly our parents cannot get Qualifying Child Relief....
-_-"
Whats more, NSFs cannot work because they are serving the
nation.
And our NS allowance suddenly becomes pay to IRAS and is taxable by
IRAS.
And most NSFs are serving NS after JC / Poly... by then we are
18/19.... and not below 16... which means every single one of us
serving the nation do not qualify for QCR!
Any of you experienced the same thing?
