Property tax changes benefit low income earners: PropNex

PropNex CEO Mr Mohamed Ismail said the Budget 2010 aims to level the playing field further, especially for the lower-income bracket households.

Commenting on Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam’s announcement of a progressive property tax structure for all owner-occupied residential properties, Mr Ismail said, "The progressive tax rate is a fairer method of taxing residential properties, which will benefit many Singaporeans while not having a negative impact on the property market."

"The Government has done well in taking a page from the Income Tax book," commends the CEO.

With the progressive property tax rate, only properties with an Annual Value exceeding $77,000 will see an increase in their property taxes -- equating to only 3 percent of private property owners or 0.4 percent of all property owners in Singapore.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
