Shit Happens

I would not be blogging explicitedly about what sorta "sh*t" happened.

Ever wondered why certain failures are allowed to happen?

Even if you have just only that one chance left?

Being stretched to your limits...you have given your best shot..but still, it doesn't work out.

I pray that God will help us fathom His reasons for allowing that to happen.

Its pre-destined..and its part of His will for him.

And I pray too that he will pick himself up...and start again.

========================================================

I had been tasked with doing e-filing of tax for my foggies.

I hate it when my dad assumes that me being the accountant should be doing all these stuff and would be an expert in it.

He seem to think that an accountant is God!!! And that infuriates me!!!

He would chance at every slightest opportunity to pique me being a trained accountant and not knowing simple stuff.

"Wah...you accountant leh...you mean you dunno what is the tax relief amount for child meh?"

" Huh...you study 3 yrs in accounts dunno how to calculate the tax for dividends donations?!!"

I got so fed up that I hollered at him to get out of my room and leave me in peace to file,otherwise he would have to do it himself.

Which he absolutely would have no idea how to. Dun think he even knows how to connect to the internet!!!

I'm not a walking Tax Act for goodness sake.

Btw, I just wanted to confirm the AMOUNTS with him. Not even asking him for the exact tax relief or deduction claimable. Being the super irritating egoistic, chauvinist man my dad is,he just HAVE to jump in and say those grating words.

My korz can take it without rebuting. He's that sort. My dad can go on and on about how useless he is and hurling insulting words his way and my brother can still go on watching his soccer or walk away calmly from the scene.

I can't.

I won't let my Dad-the-Bully get away scot free! He would know better than to pick a fight with me.

The thing about him is that he speaks without going tru his head. I hate people like that.

Which means I hate my dad. Which means I have flouted a Commandment.

I won't comment any further.

Except, I do know the tax reliefs for the above mentioned issues. This is despite me having taken my tax module 1.5 yrs ago and have since sold my Tax Text book.

1.Relief for a child below the age of 16 is $2000.

2. Tax for share dividends are deducted at source under the Singapore Tax laws. So you can claim back the tax deducted on the dividend amount at its source.

3. Deduction for donations are doubled. So you can reduce your taxable income by twice the donated amount. This is provided you do not have naming rights in the donation.

Attractive huh? Go donate then.

See. I didn't even have to refer to the income tax act for all these.

Sheesh...
