Do I need to pay tax under the SGUnited traineeship scheme?

Hey Anon!

There is no need to pay tax if you're on a traineeship!

As there is no employer-employee relationship, there are some important points to note:

1. Host companies are not obliged to offer employee benefits. However, benefits can be offered on a discretionary goodwill basis.

2. CPF contributions will not be given by the host companies.

3. You are not required to pay any tax on the trainee allowance.

You can refer to this Seedly article for more details!

Hope this helps! 🙌
