If its refundable then its alright. Anyway, if you don't pay before the due date you end up not able to watch TV n listen to radio. :siam:

May i know what is this "Child development credit"? I have a 4-yrs old child, do i ‘automoatically’ qualify for this credit?

But I won't be too greedy.
I hope they can increase the childcare subsidy & give some kindy subsidies.

Or have a fund for pre-school teachers (similar to MOE teacher's CONNECT Plan where they will get cash bonuses for long service). This can mean more passionate teachers & more experienced teachers staying on.

was hoping for childcare subsidy increase as well.... unfortunately nothing...

tax rebate for SAHMs !


I know it's wishful thinking la.
Govt prefers women to work and outsource child minding to childcare centers or maids
