Budget 2011
-
I hope parents with children and elderly we are entitled to more childcare leave and annual leave to care for them when they are unwell.
Hope Government would fully enforce all companys to operate on 5 days week so that we can have more time with children & family as right now everyone is spending more time on work.
Family with maid to have lower levy n more rebates for property tax, income tax & TV license. -
daddy2007:
Man can claim income tax rebate for childcare & maid !
I second that in addition I wish goby can extend the rebate or help to household that has more children to support, meaning looking at the total house headcount to give rebate rather than solely looking
at total household income -
ksme:
Reduce gst to 5%! That will help everyone to lighten our load.
Yes reduce it to 5% and at the same time give us another 5% GST rebate. :evil: -
I hope not giving all some goodies and announcing GST to be UP in the near future.
-
Reduce domestic helper/maid levy!!!
