Tharman has estimated that the NIR framework change, together with the hike in personal income tax rates for the top earners, would provide additional revenues of 1 per cent of gross domestic product for the next five years. Tharman announced higher personal income tax rates for the top 5 per cent of earners. "This year, there was nothing quite as direct, but there is just something for everybody except the rich, who have to contend with income tax hikes," he noted. Terence Wong, head of research at DMG & Partners Securities, noted that the previous two "election" budgets were "sweet" coming in the form of the $2.6 billion Progress Package in 2006 and the $1.5 bilion in Growth Dividends in 2011, which saw cash handouts to every adult Singaporean.

He also introduced the SkillsFuture programme that would make it easier for Singaporeans to upgrade their skills.Ĭash grants, tax rebates, top-ups to various public assistance schemes, help for small and medium enterprises, and funds for the further development of Changi Airport were also among the measures announced. He bared enhancements to the Central Provident Fund scheme and details of the Silver Support scheme that would help low-income elderly cope with living costs. Selena Ling, head for treasury research and strategy at OCBC Bank, said that the budget was “not quite a typical election budget in terms of cash handouts for all, but definitely one that keeps an eye on the future”.ĭeputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam tabled in Parliament on Monday the budget for the fiscal year starting on 1 April, and it may be the last budget before general elections are announced no later than January 2017.

The post 5 Things Singapore Startups And Musicians Have In Common appeared first on Vulcan Post. At least doing your own business has recently garnered its fair share of street cred when compared to something as non-pragmatic as writing songs and playing in pubs the arts here have long played second fiddle to. It’s no secret that Singaporeans usually pick the stability of a day job over the risk of starting their own businesses, and this culture definitely spills over into the music industry as well. Almost every startup founder we speak to talks about the importance of support (financial, mental and otherwise) from a wider social network – whether it be family, friends or the community at large. Singaporeans generally think you’re crazy to do what you do. When I speak to startups in my course of work managing the Microsoft BizSpark programme in Singapore, I often joke that a musician in Singapore is very similar to an entrepreneur in Singapore – the only small difference is that as an entrepreneur, there’s at least a chance for you to make your money back. As someone who’s been fortunate enough to have a foot in two rather different worlds – the local startup ecosystem and the local music scene – I’ve found some curious similarities.
