SINGAPORE - Singapore will be raising its taxes as government spending on investments and social services grows, said PrimeMinister Lee Hsien Loong on Sunday (Nov 19).
"(Finance Minister) Heng Swee Keat is right when he said that raising taxes is not a matter of whether, but when," said PM Lee at the People's Action Party (PAP) annual convention.
PM Lee was referring to Mr Heng's remarks during his Budget speech earlier this year, where the minister outlined how spending on healthcare and infrastructure will rise rapidly and spoke of the need for new taxes or higher tax rates.
He told some 2,000 party members that "well before that time comes, we have to plan ahead, explain to Singaporeans what the money is needed for, and how the money we earn and we spend will benefit everyone, young and old".

只有u-save的sgd 260,和两个月的s&cc (sgd 79 x 2)。
几倍“回收”? 那些是gst的补贴,sgd1400多的补贴(包括家里人sgd500 x 2),其实是补贴7%的消费税。 足以涵盖我家庭1年高达sgd 20,000预算开销的消费税。
