Vratenza Supersonic February 25, 2016 Share February 25, 2016 I prefer they add the full amount of transport allowance into the base salary. If you are going to pay income tax for these transport allowance anyway, might as well add to your bonus base calculations. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doppel Turbocharged February 25, 2016 Share February 25, 2016 My company previously can claim for $0.60 per km, then they came up with a stupid rule that you have to apply for approval first before you use your car for company functions, and attach your car's maintenance records. After this new rule, I stopped applying for reimbursement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the HR dept got a huge bonus at the end of the year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic February 26, 2016 Share February 26, 2016 just call a cab and charge everything back to company. And even if they refused to reimburse, you can claim for tax relief.

Ehonda Neutral Newbie February 26, 2016 Share February 26, 2016 Is there a cap on the transport allowance claim amount? Also are you able to find out from colleagues on mileage claim rate? Might also be worth to estimate mileage to be clocked. Not that we should defraud the company, but do buffer before you submit the information. SG roads full of road works, accidents and breakdown. nothing have finalize yet, that why need to find out what are the current market rate Mine was $0.60 per km in 2009.. today 2016 still same $0.60 per km.. thanks for the adv, beside the $0.60 claim, can u still claim parking, ERP etc? by the way, does this mileage claim include home to office or just only mainly from office to customer place and back to office?

Kangadrool Supersonic February 26, 2016 Share February 26, 2016 obviously is to make life difficult to claim reimbursement. But, surprised nobody strongly protested! Why need maintenance record? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsl118 6th Gear February 26, 2016 Share February 26, 2016 In the near future got to factor in the new satellite based ERP system as part of transport allowance, fresh this morning Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, surprised nobody strongly protested! though I do not agree with this underhand method to disincentivise the transport claims, I laud the creativity of the HR department. if anybody ask why need the maintenance record, the HR department can just reply: Since the car is being used for company function eg. ferrying staff or VIPs, we have to ensure that the vehicle used are properly maintained and safe for use in accordance with our company support and promotion of road safety for all employees. Thank you for your understanding. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro, how can you claim home to office??? At most you say you travel from home to client place straight as it is nearer, then can claim lah... Usually mileage claim and parking/ERP is separate. My company previously can claim for $0.60 per km, then they came up with a stupid rule that you have to apply for approval first before you use your car for company functions, and attach your car's maintenance records. After this new rule, I stopped applying for reimbursement. Then next time take taxi loh, company pay more, don't need to wear out your car and feel frustrated while driving, and get to sit behind in the taxi and relax.

Kangadrool Supersonic February 26, 2016 Share February 26, 2016 (edited) depends on what records they want. I reckon for an older car, an inspection certificate would suffice and reasonable. But then, you can't drive on the roads without all these in SG. And do they (HR) have the professional competency in assessing whether car is safe based on papers. So, obvious motive. though I do not agree with this underhand method to disincentivise the transport claims, I laud the creativity of the HR department. if anybody ask why need the maintenance record, the HR department can just reply: Since the car is being used for company function eg. ferrying staff or VIPs, we have to ensure that the vehicle used are properly maintained and safe for use in accordance with our company support and promotion of road safety for all employees.

13177 Supersonic February 26, 2016 Share February 26, 2016 2k no questions asked sounds pretty decent, unless you have to drive a lot. Else, should be able to make some money from it? Transport allowance better if it's a higher amount. Mileage claim makes it troublesome as you have to record all your trips down. Some people can make some money from the transport allowance given by company monthly. I have a friend only use his car strictly for work purpose, and don't drive on weekend so that no need to pump petrol often and pocket more of the allowance. Lol.
