Due to the pandemic, ERP charges were suspended for some time. With the pandemic under control, ERP charges have been reinstated with a heavier price...literally! And for this group of motorists, they decided to pull a stunt to save the extra dollar: What Happened? A group of local and Malaysian motorcyclists, in addition to a pair of heavy vehicles, decided to pull up at the shoulder of a slip road towards an expressway to save themselves a couple of dollars by avoiding ERP charges. As the heavy vehicles were oversized, they obstructed the path of other motorists entering the expressway and slowed traffic along the slip road. The cam vehicle travelling on the slip road towards the expressway was undoubtedly frustrated at the inconsiderate acts of these individuals and blasted his horn at them while driving past them. Back in those pre-pandemic days, waiting at the road shoulder for the closure of an ERP gantry was a relatively common sight, especially in places where ERP charges can be as costly as $3 per entry. However, this trend died down when ERP charges were suspended due to COVID-19. Now with ERP charges back in operation, would we witness more of these inconsiderate acts?

I have heard rumours that SAF will not send SAF100 to people earning above a certain amount. Does anyone know what is the minimum amount for SAF to consider someone too expensive?

Chng, 51, was convicted on three counts of wilfully making false entries in his income tax returns for years of assessment of 1995, 2001 and 2002, relating to income from his audit and tax advisory firm CT Chng & Co. He under-reported a total of $152,275 of income for those years of assessment. Inquiries revealed he stated lower gross profit figures, which led to lower adjusted profit values. He was jailed for six months and ordered to pay a penalty of $75,200.52 - three times the $25,066.84 of tax under-charged. 'Investigations revealed that Chng Chor Tong was fully aware of the amount of takings from his sole proprietorship and deliberately under-reported his income over several years,' the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) said in a statement yesterday. 'This case serves to remind taxpayers that IRAS can bring a person to court for a tax evasion offence regardless of the number of years that has passed.' Chng was charged in August last year with 11 counts of tax evasion for making false entries in his income tax returns. He was found to have under-reported income totalling $2,438,325 for years of assessment 1995 to 2005 from his professional practice. He pleaded guilty to three of the 11 charges and was given a discharge not amounting to acquittal on three charges for years of assessment 2003 to 2005. The Comptroller of Income Tax withdrew the remaining five charges and compounded these offences for $944,681.73. IRAS said yesterday it takes a serious view of such offences by errant tax agents. 'Tax agents, especially accountants, have extensive knowledge and understanding of the Singapore tax system and are expected to be compliant with their own tax reporting obligations,' it said. 'IRAS will take harsh action against those who deliberately facilitate clients in under-declaring their tax or exploiting grey areas in the existing legal and administrative tax system.' IRAS also said the clients of errant tax agents will be under scrutiny. IRAS investigators unearthed Chng's involvement in a separate tax evasion case involving a client. 'Arising from this, Chng Chor Tong has paid $200,000 for compounding his offence in abetting one of his clients in the commission of a tax offence,' IRAS said. In a separate case, OT Corporate Services yesterday became the first company to be convicted under the Serious Fraudulent Tax Evasion Provision. It was found guilty of omitting income of $172,490 from its tax return and maintaining a false record for sub-contractor expenses amounting to $240,000 for year of assessment 2006. It was fined $15,000 and ordered to pay a penalty of $256,329.68.
