SINGAPORE — The Singapore government will be further extending the waivers on foreign worker levies and giving out more rebates to support firms in the construction, marine shipyard and process sectors.
“The government has received feedback from the Singapore Contractors Association Limited, Association of Singapore Marine Industries and the Association of Process Industry that the majority of an estimated 15,000 firms in the construction, marine shipyard and process sectors continue to face financial difficulties as they are unable to resume work due to COVID-19 measures,” the ministry said in the statement.
MOM will provide a further FWL waiver for levies due in July, bringing it to 100 per cent. Employers who have paid the 50 per cent levies originally due in July will have the amount refunded to them.
