Q: I am a Singaporean working in Malaysia, and a permanent resident of Malaysia. My daughter is learning Japanese at a language centre, which is arranging a study tour to Japan at the end of the year. Do I have to pay service tax on the fees for the study tour?
A: No. Fees for study tours within or outside the country that are not part of the tuition fees are exempted from service tax.
Wishing you plentiful tax savings!
