the Bear SG i just received mine... and i received my bloody e-filing PIN last friday got to bite the bullet and see the hard-earned $$$ disappear into the gabrament coffers again
the Bear SG just remembered that i cannot file my income tax yet.. got to wait for SAF to send me the deductions..
Wanda SG Well, there’s no hurry to pay taxes. I always do it a bit later in case the e-filing website got problems, yet again….
the Bear SG oh yeah.. i remember once when i wanted to go there and rant at IRAS... i had everything filed in, and they sent me a letter telling me i did not file and wanted to fine me! putting on my game face, i was about to go there and scare the living bejesus out of them when the lady at the counter, without missing a beat asked me "you filed right? give me your name and IC number... you brought the documents with you? okay... it's all done" after keying in some things... i was "huh?? wha??" so i pursued the case in a tactical manner... "server crash?" she muttered "yah.. a lot of people who filed, their data all lost" i was wondering.. what kind of ham-fisted asswipes would send a summons with a threat of a fine (and if i'm not wrong, even jail time) for not filing their income tax when it was their own server that crashed due to overload? then i remembered who was the Minister of Finance...
the Bear SG i remember in the past, before the days of e-filing, we had to send in a pile of forms... i was working shifts at that time.. so one day, i took all the forms and documents, went to a shopping mall where poly students were there helping people fill in their forms for extra credits.. and let them do it for me got a free pen too! a friend of mine found out and did the same.. thing is, he's an accountant!
Mid9Sun SG I just paid my last year's tax yesterday hehehe Also also say can wavie my late payment fine of 5% cos i have been paying my tax promptly..haha wtf ...
av98m SG They tried to fine me more than that ok. I quite stupidly paid up the fine before thinking twice, just to get them off my back. Then I got pissed about it, and a few nasty emails later got my refund
NotFromVenus SG Actually they did not pay enough salary to the "Consultants" who sit at their offices advising them how to manipulate their web-servers , So those servers succumb to corruption.
the Bear SG yeah.. stella is corrupted enough to cause the corruption of whatever he goes near.. sounds right
the_don SG wat is form 8e? my company and ex company will help me submit the details. all i need to do is log on and declare i got insurance and course fees to deduct. i'm happy that the garment has only asked me to pay $180 for taxes. and they better not ask me to pay this year since my course fees are 15K
Rhonda SG My definition of 'high taxes' has been redefined since coming here. In order not to get frustrated, I consider my post-tax income as my gross. Yeah, the infamous ostrich-burying-its-head-in-the-sand plea of ignorance, which, in this case, is truly bliss! Each time I start to think of the obscene amount of tax I pay, I feel downright miserable! At least, those years of paying taxes in Singapore were pain-free.
