MP Ng Shi Xuan, who made this call in parliament on Thursday (Feb 26), proposed a “modest” S$2,500 tax credit - S$1,500 for NSmen and S$1,000 for caregivers. He said this would provide meaningful and equal recognition, regardless of their tax bracket. Turning to businesses, he highlighted the need to help them bring in more revenue and compete more effectively.
