Creative Accounting

Recently, I have been facing many people, be it clients or ex-clients having problems with their accounts or tax return as their losses are hugely overstated or their income are over declared as they want to

  1. Impress their wives to show that they are very capable. This is especially true if their wives are foreigners
  2. They wish to apply for credit card.
  3. They wish to employ a maid.

During my 4.5 years in taxation line, I have seen a few cases where you wonder where a person can pump in an outrageous sum of capital into his sole-prop business when he lives in a 4 room HDB flat. My ex boss always say, "This case is a prime candiate for investigation, should IRAS wish to investigate."

I just hope that my blog readers do not indulge in creative accounting for your tax returns. If you are not sure about how to go about to file your returns, get your friends who are well versed in accounting and taxation to assist you.

Talking about filing of tax returns, IRAS seems to have problems churning out the tax forms, as they are now providing the taxpayers an outdated version of the tax form. I would suggest that you guys to e-file your return instead.

If you guys are not sure about e-filing, please feel free to pop by the 21 Citizen Connect Centres this weekend or next weekend between 2pm to 6pm for the volunteers to help you.

Dinner @ Bacchus @ Dempsey

I joined the Facebook Foodies Club for dinner at Bacchus last night. Yesterday was with a smaller group of people with 11 people. It meant that I had a chance to interact with people and enjoy good food at the same time. I certainly had a good time knowing Deborah, Rene, Wenna, Chris & Catherine. The good part was having my singing buddy, Jonathan around as well, making me able to enjoy the dinner and making friends with relative ease. I must say I enjoyed the food, that I ordered. I ordered the Flumuken,Bawhrust susages and tiramisu cake. You must be thinking that why I ordered so much food. I must say I was very hungry as I didn’t have a filling lunch. Although, it burned a hole in my pocket, but it is certainly good to indulge in myself sometimes! I like the ambience of the restuarant. After the dinner, we indulged ourselves in some German wine before we were asked to pose for photos. After that, we adjourned to Harry’s Bar for a drink and chat session. Jonathan was so afraid

My Hosting Script for The National Day Event

-
I just managed to work out the draft hosting script for the National Day Event I am hosting. I am thankful for all the comments that I have received from my fellow RC members and friends. Just feel that sometimes, no matter whatever you do, some people, no matter for what reasons, will not be happy with the arrangements. I just wish to say that I am already trying my best to try to get this event going, considering the fact, that this is the 1st time I am organising an RC event. I have also tried my best, despite the fact that I would like to have a free hand to organise the event, just like what I usually do for the KTV events I have on Facebook, I accommodated to the requests that I should somehow follow the past years’ format to do the event. I know that I am not very familiar with how things are run at the RC, therefore in the end, my organising committee only made some changes to the event as we had a limited budget to work on. I even volunteered myself to do the hosting for the

June Musings

 It has been a while since I last blogged. Since then, I am settling well into my role, although there were some incomings and outgoings, which are common in any workplace.   I managed to catch a last glimpse of Yishun Orto before it closed on 30 June. I would like Leonard, Wendy & Michael, as without them performing at the Happiest Hour Bar & Bistro, I guess I would never go to this place, as I had not so fond memories of a nearby place during my NS days.   I did not manage to get A* Mei or Jacky Cheung concert tickets this round. It could be a sign for me to build up my savings again after an unstable 3 years on the job front. I hope to stay on this job for a while despite its lack of transport amenities and lack of shelters for rain as it is not often that you can have great teams of colleagues and bosses with whom you can get along well. I guess having a boss who is differently abled helps me to settle in well as colleagues tend to be more understanding and caring.
