Employer-Provided Air Travel: Business, Relocation and Home Leave

The purpose of an employer-funded flight determines its employment-tax treatment. Cash substitutes and home-leave travel have different treatment from business travel.

Classify the journey

Business flights for client meetings, conferences or training are not taxable. Flights for an employee and family to begin Singapore employment or leave when it ends are also not taxable under the stated treatment. A flight on renewal with the same employer follows home-leave treatment. From YA 2018, home-leave passages for employees and family are fully taxable; cash paid instead is taxable as well.
