In:

Is there any change in the Budget 2020 for manpower levy?

If you employΒ Work Permit or S Pass holders you may be limited by a quota for your industry. You will also have to pay aΒ monthly levy for each Work Permit or S Pass holder in Singapore.

The foreign worker levy, commonly known as β€œlevy”, is a pricing mechanism to regulate the number of foreign workers in Singapore.

The levy liability will start from the day the Temporary Work Permit, Work Permit or S Pass is issued, whichever is earlier. It ends when the permit is cancelled or expires.

As an employer, you don’t have to pay Central Provident Fund (CPF) contributions for foreign workers. However, you mustΒ pay a monthly levy for Work Permit and S Pass holders.
