x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Hi limhpp, guess you must be staying in expensive pte properties.. that's y. ERS per person Year Annual Value of Your Home Up to $10,000 (This includes almost all HDB flats) Above $10,000 2003 $400 $200 2004 $400 $200 2005 $400 $200 Total $1,200 $600 $1000-2000 is based on the fact if 1 were to hold all the till march 2008, cos they give dividends based on the GDP growth. ERS will earn tax-free dividends each year in the form of bonus shares, payable every year on 1 March from 2004 - 2008. The rate is a minimum guaranteed 3% + real GDP growth rate of the previous year. Crediting Date Dividend Rate (%) ERS balance as at 1 March 2004 4.1 31 Dec 2003 1 March 2005 11.4 31 Dec 2004 1 March 2006 9.4 31 Dec 2005 1 March 2007 10.9 31 Dec 2006

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	I rather they dun give any goodies this time round.. in economics, any current government spending is repaid by future taxation... and i believe we will have to pay back much much more than wat we get now.. give u 1 time off goodies, but in exchange for prolonged period of "repayment scheme". look at the ERS some time back we got in exchange for higher and higher GST and other hikes. how many % "interest" we pay back for the 1000-2000bucks we got.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	To encourage more kids. They should cut the income tax rate of working fathers or give more rebates to the fathers. Currently they only give incentives for mothers only!!! How many % of mothers earn income higher than the hubby? The end result is as an entire family, they can have more savings. Not reduce tax on those who might not be paying taxes or already lower taxes.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	mike8057d, i am not raising any politics issues here. but again, i want to tell you that even sinagapore government invited us to become citizen , we also don't want.. u really hink those "extra charges" will lure us to become citizen meh? but again, newspaper always make comparison between citizen and PR.. the biggest advantage and cost difference is citizen can buy new HDB, aiyoo.. i tell u, how many singaporean can buy their dream HDB with good location, and good price, some people even also forced to enter the resale market.. others charges, we are rich enough to pay you more. we are here to "compete" rice bowls with you guys, and we are good in that.. that is true... oppss.. hope not create any "bombs" later. else, novena_33 can help me to protect...
