[h=1]FORMER NMP CALVIN CHENG: 70% OF S'POREANS DO NOT PAY INCOME TAX[/h]
Post date:

Did you know that the top 30% of income earners in Singapore pay about 7.7 Billion of income taxes each year?
The other 70% pay ZERO.
So if you are part of this 70%, you are a net recipient of almost 8 billion dollars of transfers.
If you are part of the 30%, you are very fortunate to be a giver rather than a receiver.
No complaints either way.
Interesting factoid for sharing.
