How sources are verified and how often they are reviewed
This site handles sources according to the following rules:
- Primary sources only: figures and regulatory statements cite the responsible authority's pages or official documents first (such as MOM, ICA, IRAS, MOE and MOH pages, the EDB GIP Factsheet and the State Taxation Administration legal database); entries already verified on sister sites are reused here with the same link and date.
- Version dates recorded: the dates in the tables are the "Last updated" dates shown on the pages or the documents' publication dates; where a page shows no date, the date this site accessed it is recorded. Where the same page shows different content on different access dates, the newer version prevails and the text is updated.
- Key figures checked word for word: thresholds, fees, tax rates, deadlines and similar figures are written into the text only after the corresponding wording is found on the original page; figures seen only in search snippets or secondary reports are either left out or clearly labelled with the nature of the source.
- Unverified items kept out of the text: for example, specific deadlines for company annual returns and corporate income tax, government school fee amounts for each residency status, and insurance costs other than for helpers; for these, this site describes only the mechanism and notes that the authority's latest page prevails.
- Review frequency: routine reviews take place quarterly; MOM pass thresholds (such as the EP qualifying salary for new applications from 2027-01-01), ICA's REP rules, IRAS's annual filing arrangements and MOH's IP rules are updated as soon as official announcements are made, with the page's
updateddate changed accordingly.
Material this site does not use
To keep the content neutral and verifiable, the following material is not used as a source on this site, even where it is available:
- Insurers', banks' or distribution channels' internal commission tables, channel incentives and distribution agreement terms;
- Unpublished product quotations, internal illustration figures and financing case studies;
- Any real client's name, policies, assets or application documents (scenario pages are always anonymous and hypothetical);
- Unverified figures and rankings from internal training and closed-door briefing materials (such material is used only to understand narrative frameworks, and its figures are not cited);
- Unverifiable claims such as "success rates" or "fast tracks" from immigration agents or marketing articles;
- International rankings and statistical measures not verified by this site.
If you find a broken source link or a rule that has changed, you can let us know through the contact details on this site, and we will update the page after checking.
