Hello,
I would like to ask you about remote jobs in Singapore. I want to
live in Cambodia and work remotely in Singapore, as software
engineer. Are companies likely to make remote work possible
(provided I have university degree, various certificates and
several years of professional experience, including the UK)? What
are the laws governing double taxation avoidance (in order not to
pay taxes in two countries)?
Thank you!
PS Sorry for not creating new thread but this forum did not
allow me to do that without 8 posts.
I don't really understand your statement there, "I want to live
in Cambodia and work remotely in Singapore..." I mean if you want
to work in remote Singapore from Cambodia, you need to live in
Singapore or live in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. And you still need
accomodation in Singapore or Johor Bahru during your work week
unless you intend to fly back to Cambodia every weekends. It's not
possible for you to fly and commute on daily basis to and fro
between Cambodia and Singapore.
About the income taxation I can give you an example. Singapore
and Malaysia have this agreement about Malaysians working in
Singapore. The Malaysian workers only pay income tax to Singapore
and they are exampted from income taxation in Malaysia. I'm not
sure about Cambodia and Singapore whether they have any agreement
on this matter. However, since January 2016, the ASEAN economics
community have this agreement of allowing the movement and
employment of corporate management/executives within ASEAN more
easier.
Listed below is a link pertaining to your enquiry. Hope it is
useful for you. Good Luck.
