Hi, just wanna know your take regarding this matter:
So, I left my previous company end of January this year and went back to my home country. I was deducted a certain amount for the income tax and had no issue leaving Singapore then. Now I am back in SG and in the process of waiting for a new pass. But due to the long processing time for the pass application, I would need to go back to my country again and will just come back when my application gets approved. I was thinking that there won't be a problem again, but my previous company sent me an email a few days back telling me that i have an outstanding amount regarding my income tax. The amount they deducted to me last January was paid around March already but the amount that needs to be paid is more than the amount they deducted to my last salary. Meaning they only paid what they deducted me, and I still owe a certain amount to pay for. I'm not sure how income tax is calculated but according to what I read, the company should inform if an employee is no longer with the company, then will they calculate for the tax owed. I'm not sure on what to ask to be honest, but I'm quite confused on the way my previous company handled my tax. I mean is what they did fair/right? I just need some insights before I settle the matter. thanks.
