  am i right to say hirer as a OMO gets rental and $100/day

  and a hirer with relief, whichever party goes for ict, can claim only each party due cost of rental and $80/day

  in the 2nd arrangement, while the other party is away for ict, can the remaining party (driver) drives beyond his shift hours, into the other party hours, despite receiving the make up rental?

  Refer to with further details and examples:

  ns.sg/cs/content/eServices/mindef/NSmen%20Payments%20(nspay)/FAQs/c-mf_nspay_faq_policies-self-employed.html

   

   

   

   

  a. What are the 3 options for a self-employed NSman to claim Make-Up Pay?
  
  The NSman should choose the option that suits him best for the particular training. An option once made for a particular training is irrevocable.
  
  Option 1: Income Tax Option
  

  • NSman's monthly income would be based on the Trade Income shown in the Income Tax Notice of Assessment (NA) for the year of NS training.
  • Since the trade income for the year of training would not be available at the time of submission of the claim, a provisional payment would be made based on the latest available trade/self-employment income. An adjustment would be made when the trade income for the year of NS training is available.
  • The adjustment may result in either an arrears or an overpayment which will be recovered from you. If there is any outstanding claim, the overpayment will be offset before paying the second claim.
  • The trade income for the provisional payment and subsequent adjustment will be obtained directly from IRAS for claimants using this option.

  Note: NSmen opting for their make-up pay to be computed based on the Income Tax Option should take note that the option does not automatically apply to their subsequent NS trainings. A new claim has to be submitted for every training.
  
  Option 2: Average Income Option
  

  • NSman's monthly income would be based on the average net self-employment income earned in the 6 months immediately before the NS training.

  
  Option 3: Replacement Option
  

  • For NSmen who are doctors or drivers, they can claim the replacement fees incurred as a result of engaging a locum doctor or relief driver to cover their duties during their absence.

  
  Note: Replacement fee is claimable only if clinic / business is in operation during NS training and the claim is submitted at least 2 weeks before the commencement of NS training.

  Meaning to said if going to ICT, if the OMO driver report income (eg. $2500).

  Using option 2 for 2 week ICT training is $1250 or using Option 3 which is $2000 (if the car is $100/day)? 

  So TD here, can point out which option u choose as a hirer?

  Lolz, How long can i escape? is more like do it and leave it, no point play with the system.

  so anyone have any experience on ICT being a hirer?

  1) did you file monthly income for 6mth then choose option 2 for ICT or;

  2) report to respective and choose option 3.

   

  which is the best deal?

  No lah, SAF will pay you base on the average of the past 6 months earning, as an employees, no problem, because employer will submit for you under the laws as required. As a freelancer/self employed like TD, hawkers and so on, if you are liable for Income taxation, you hv to becareful in over declaring it. If you declare yourself unemployed, SAF will also pay you $50 per day of your present/not including rest day and AWOL

  I checked up with NS portal, they said i can claim the taxi per day rental and reimbus on the income per day as the average taxi driver in singapore. 

  According to them, they have a group of ppl will guage on the average taxi driver in sg to pay accordingly to the newly became Hirer going for ICT. OR ur last 6 mths income declaration. using the option 2(average income).

   

  other than ICT claiming from NS, How all of You (TD) do your income declaration? Every month? or once a year thing?
