A piece of wonderful news for business owners!
IRAS (Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore) has announced that not only will companies enjoy 400% tax deductions/allowances and/or 60% cash payout under the PIC (Productivity and Innovation Credit) scheme, your business can also receive a PIC Bonus (dollar-to-dollar matching cash bonus) up till YA2015!
What does this mean? It means your business can now claim back more than what you invest for innovation and productivity!
Training of employees is one of the qualifying activities covered under PIC – and all courses conducted by WebSprout Academy are 100% claimable! Let’s take a look at a simple example to understand how your business can benefit from this scheme.
An Example
Company A spends $6,000 on a SEO training programme conducted by WebSprout Academy.
Under the PIC (cash payout option), IRAS will pay to Company A :
- A PIC Bonus of $6,000 (dollar-to-dollar matching cash bonus), PLUS –
- A PIC Cash Payout of $3,600 (60% of expenditure on productivity activity)
So Company A will get back a total of $9,600 in cash for investing just $6,000 in productivity!
Latest Update!
2014 is the last year for businesses to enjoy the PIC Bonus (dollar-to-dollar
matching bonus)!
