6. Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Will my second child discount still apply if I put money into
WLPC?
Ans. Yes. The sibling discount will apply.
7. Frequently Asked Questions:
2. If I have some money that I would like to invest and they are not
available until November 2017, can I still join?
Ans. Yes. The membership is date sensitive. Discount applies on
the date when membership deposit is credited to the WLPC
account. For example, if a deposit of $100,000 is received on
November 05, 2017, 50% discount will be applied to school fee
from November 05, 2017 to May 31, 2018 pro-rated.
8. Frequently Asked Questions:
3. What if my child will graduate before the end of the 5 year
term?
Ans. The WLPC investment will be rolled into the next child’s
tuition discount. If no more child will be attending the school,
PCA will assist in trading the membership with another PCA
families when available, or convert the membership deposit to
PCA Promissory Note Series B and receive interest payment
(3.5% p.a.).
9. Frequently Asked Questions:
4. Is the tuition discount a taxable income?
Ans. No, the tuition discount is not a taxable income, making this a
tax efficient investment.
10. Frequently Asked Questions:
4. What is the tax implication?
Ans. Since the family will be paying less tuition, the tax receipt
amount attributed to Christian education will be reduced
accordingly. In the event some families put in a large amount
of WLPC investment and paying only 25% or 50% of tuition,
there may not be any tax receipt issued for the Christian
education portion.
