The best people to help you is the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (Income Tax matters). Depending on your arrangement/s you had with your employer, I have the feeling that you may have to bear for income tax.

Yes you will need to pay $600 income tax as your income is more than $36,000. Any amt more than $20,000 is subject to tax. However, you can avoid paying it by packing the excess in Singaporean investments, CPF, insurance. Why not put $16,000 into some Singapore-based unit trusts? Earn capital gains and avoid taxation at the same time.

You are liable for income tax if you are legally working in Singapore. The good news is the rate is not high. Your HR department should be able to help you but you can also do your own research at, http://www.iras.gov.sg/ESVPortal/Home/index.asp
Good Luck

Since your annual income is above S$20,000, then you may need to pay income tax.

As long as you earn more than $200 a mth,you'll have to pay and pay.
Then again, foreigner might be paying more because you are farang. :P
I'd advise you to keep all receipts from your taxi rides and ktv visits,so end of the year can claim expenses.
