$940m wage credits to be released by end-March

This latest disbursement of the Wage Credit Scheme will affect over 98,000 employers.

The government will release $940m by 31 March as a part of its Wage Credit Scheme.

The funds will go to over 98,000 employers in Singapore to pay for their employees' wages.

Eligible employers are set to receive letters from the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) before end-March to inform them of their payout amount. Appeals may be sent to the IRAS until 30 June.

This brings the total wage credit disbursed to more than $2b.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
