More than 100,000 employers, who employ about 1.4 million local workers, will receive about $230 million in the second extension of the Jobs Credit on 30 June 2010. This is also the last payment of the Jobs Credit. In total, more than $4.3 billion has been paid to employers in six tranches since the Jobs Credit scheme was introduced in Budget 2009.
Eligible employers will receive a notification letter by 26 June 2010 from the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS), to inform them of the amount of Jobs Credit they will receive in the final payment. [1]
Any enquiries or appeals regarding this final payment must be submitted to IRAS by 31 August 2010.
