The 2 Crucial Changes to PIC from 2015 Onwards

(Read also 'Move over PIC, now it's Training Credit' at here)

 Following my over 9 articles on PIC (read one of them here), these are the 2 changes to PIC from 2015 onwards.  Note: there is this course on PIC at here. 

 1.  PIC Bonus of up to $15,000 will cease to exist  

 This means that the last financial year to get your PIC bonus is 2014.  What this means is that in this year of 2015, you can still get PIC Bonus for your PIC claims made in 2012 to 2014.  Note: the PIC Bonus is an automatic scheme, i.e., you don't need to apply.  The IRAS will automatically give you the PIC bonus as long as your PIC claims is $5,000 or more.  The PIC Bonus is another 100% of the PIC Claims that you made, on top of the 60% cash that you get. The cap is $15K for the years 2012 to 2014.

 2.  Three Employees Requirement every month.  

 Companies need to have 3 CPF employees every month in the quarter that they're submitting.  Before 2015, companies only need to have 3 CPF Employees in the qualifying month (i.e. the month where you made the claim.

 Note that the '3 CPF Employees' exclude directors and shareholders and their immediate families. It includes Singaporeans and Permanent Residents.

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...
