Three Courses, Each Devoted to One Topic
Rather than covering Singapore personal tax in a single broad sweep, Bukit Capital offers three separate courses — each focused on one clearly defined area. Learners choose what is relevant to their situation.
Back to HomeHow the Courses Are Structured
Each Bukit Capital course follows the same basic format: a set of short weekly modules, each containing reading material, a worked example, a key-terms summary, and a printable worksheet. Modules are designed to take between 30 and 50 minutes to read at a measured pace.
There are no video lectures, no timed quizzes, and no mandatory discussion boards. Learners progress through the material in the order it is presented; modules do not unlock on a fixed schedule, so a learner who wishes to read ahead or pause for several weeks is free to do so.
Every course ends with a brief summary sheet designed to fit on a single A4 page, suitable for printing and filing alongside the documents it describes.
Module Readings
30–50 minute reading sessions
Printable Worksheets

Reading a Notice of Assessment Without Fear
A careful walk-through of what arrives in the post from IRAS each year for resident taxpayers in Singapore: the Notice of Assessment, the tax reliefs summary, and the supporting worksheets. Aimed at readers aged 40 and above who have always wanted, but never quite found time, to understand their personal tax picture properly.
The course explains each line of the notice, walks through how employment income, rental income, director's fees, and trade income are treated, and gives examples at various typical income levels. No tax planning is implied; the course simply helps the reader understand what they already hold in their hand.

Personal Reliefs and Household Circumstances
A thoughtful study of the personal reliefs available to most Singapore tax residents — Earned Income, Spouse, Qualifying Child, Working Mother's Child Relief, Parent, Handicapped Parent, NSman, CPF relief, SRS, and so on — and how they fit household circumstances in the middle and later years.
The course clarifies the personal income tax relief cap, explains why some reliefs are more relevant to some households than others, and discusses how changes in family life shift the picture year to year. The material is descriptive and educational; it does not prepare returns and does not replace professional advice.
Key Benefits
- Understand the full range of available reliefs
- See how the S$80,000 relief cap works
- Track how family changes affect your position
- Read CPF and SRS contribution lines with clarity

The tone is descriptive and respectful of the reader's judgement; every module ends with a note on when to consult a qualified tax professional.
