Question

Does CPF contribution rate differ for Singapore Permanent Residents compared to citizens, and can payroll software handle both?

Answer
Yes. CPF rates differ by citizenship and residency status, and Omni HR applies the right CPF Board rate table for citizens and Permanent Residents within the same payroll run rather than treating the whole company as one rate. It's part of the same Singapore payroll module that also produces IR8A and Appendix 8A.
