Q2. Price levels have increased globally, which has affected many people worldwide including the citizens of Singapore. As Singapore is a developed country, price levels will increase drastically due to the high manufacturing and maintenance costs. The Budget is important to help reduce the stresses inflicted on lower to middle tier citizens in these times of high costs of living. Grants help them to afford basic daily essentials and necessities.]]> 2023-03-27 00:42:37 UTC https://padlet.com/xmspadlet/zas9q41x3mri7s0r/wish/2532178473 justine https://padlet.com/xmspadlet/zas9q41x3mri7s0r/wish/2532180285 Q1. What are the budget measures about?
The budget measures are about cushioning the effects of inflation and higher taxes, and to support people who are struggling financially.

This can cushion the taxation on people of the common household in Singapore; car prices, housing prices, property taxes etc. since taxes on these items increased.

Q2. Why are these budget measures important to Singapore?
These budget measures ensure that Singaporeans can live comfortably even when inflation is increasing the prices of common goods by a significant amount.

The reading talked about a calvacade of new taxations that will affect the average Singaporean worker. This means that average living expenses will increase, and saving will thus be harder for the great majority of the Singaporean population.

How does this affect my role card?
The role card states that he wants to marry his long-term girlfriend once they save their first million. This will now be harder due to higher taxes, and getting a car and a house after marriage will also cost more.]]> 2023-03-27 00:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/xmspadlet/zas9q41x3mri7s0r/wish/2532180285 question 2 https://padlet.com/xmspadlet/zas9q41x3mri7s0r/wish/2532182292 They help lower income families with their needs and affordable shelter.

Singaporean families with young children are getting more support and financial benefits, as part of changes announced in Budget 2023.
  • Key measures for parents include: a $3,000 increase in the Baby Bonus Cash Gift, more contributions to the Child Development Account (CDA), and four-week government-paid paternity leave.
  • Lower- to middle-income working mothers will also benefit from the change in the Working Mother’s Child Relief to a fixed-dollar amount, from a percentage of earned income
q2. It is important because:
 The Singapore government is offering more help to better support parents with the costs of raising their children.

There is already “a generous set of measures” such as the Baby Bonus Scheme, significant preschool and education subsidies, and tax benefits like the Parenthood Tax Rebate, Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) and Finance Minister Lawrence Wong, said in his Budget 2023 statement on 14 Feb. 

But some of these schemes need to be adjusted, to ensure that parents who have greater needs can receive more support.

“To all young married couples: whether you already have a newborn, or you are expecting a baby, or plan to have a baby, we have something to help you in your parenthood journey,” DPM Wong said in his speech.

Here’s a look at the latest announcements — including cash gifts, tax relief, and parental leave — targeted at parents-to-be and families with kids in their early years.
