The Organic Milk I have found in Cold Storage and Giant are Organic Valley and Horizon (few times), that come from US or Australia and are very expensive. Was looking to see if anyone has found cheaper alternative for Organic Milk elsewhere.

No worries, I thought only US was run by lawyers that we have to have disclaimers on everything...

I just wanted an opinion on what some of you have done in similar situations. So your post really helped....

Hi zzm9980, thank you so much for your valuable inputs. This is what I was looking for. Will look into Form 2555.

Hi Hidy Ho, yes agree that in the grand scheme of things it could be adjusted and that is what i am trying to understand. I just don't want to be in a situation where I end up paying taxes from my pocket. I agree with some comments that tax is levied on income and if I have income I have to pay taxe...

I am moving from US to SG. And I will still have a property in US that I will be paying for, but all my income earned will be in SG (some in 2013, but 100% after that). x9200, I have no issues paying taxed on my earned income, but do have an issue when I have to pay taxes for benefits that are provi...

I have reviewed the information on the IRAS website which is similar to what strong eagle has outlined, but what I would like to understand is how do companies deal with such situations.

Thanks

Taitaiwife, thanks for your encouraging feedback, I am sure that will make my wife feel a lot better.

Hi Maneo, don't understand your point. My wife manages the home and the kids, so it is a big change for her (not sacrifice), as she will have to do all the running around in a new place, while I am at the office. So would like to make this as painless as possible for her and the kids. Can you clarif...

Thanks everyone for your valuable feedback. Yes, I have seen that the cost of living is definitely very high compared to Atlanta and I think I am prepared for that, though hard to do it till you are actually there. My wife is prepared for downsizing on the house from a 5000 sq ft to a 1800-2000 sq f...

My company wants me to take a regional position in Singapore to manage our Network Design and Engineering division for APAC and is planning to offer me a secondment offer. The term would be for 2 years. I am looking for some advise on what I need to negotiate in terms of a package. I have 2 young ki...
