What is the foreign worker levy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The foreign worker levy, commonly known as “levy’, is a pricing mechanism to regulate the number of foreigners in Singapore.<\/p>\n

As an employer, you don’t have to pay Central Provident Fund (CPF) contributions for your maid. However, you must pay a monthly levy for her.<\/p>\n

For first-time maids, the levy will begin on the 5th day of their arrival\u00a0<\/strong>(including the arrival date). Otherwise, the levy will begin\u00a0the next day\u00a0<\/strong>after the maid arrives.<\/p>\n

The levy ends when the Work Permit is cancelled or expires.<\/p>\n
