Ran a small online biz through this. The core rule: GST registration is compulsory once your taxable turnover crosses the prescribed thresho…
Not unreasonable at all, 3 hours of daily commute is 15 hours a week of unpaid life, that's a real pay cut in time. But don't quit on emotio…
Let me give the less rosy take. The savings are real on paper, but I stopped doing it regularly because the jam and the whole day it consume…
Went through this with an inconsiderate upstairs unit. First, for renovation noise, HDB has permitted renovation hours and noisy work is res…
