Property tax changes benefit low income earners: PropNex

PropNex CEO Mr Mohamed Ismail said the Budget 2010 aims to level the playing field further, especially for the lower-income bracket households.

Commenting on Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam’s announcement of a progressive property tax structure for all owner-occupied residential properties, Mr Ismail said, "The progressive tax rate is a fairer method of taxing residential properties, which will benefit many Singaporeans while not having a negative impact on the property market."

"The Government has done well in taking a page from the Income Tax book," commends the CEO.

With the progressive property tax rate, only properties with an Annual Value exceeding $77,000 will see an increase in their property taxes -- equating to only 3 percent of private property owners or 0.4 percent of all property owners in Singapore.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
