Tax Season is Approaching, Here Are 18 Ways to Legally Reduce Your Income Tax in Singapore

Fretting over the impending recession and inflation? Beat the heat with these 10 legal methods to reduce your taxes!

In this article, we will introduce you to the various tax relief schemes offered by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS).

Claim away under all the relief schemes that apply to you, up to a maximum of $80,000 per Year of Assessment (YA).

1. Make Contributions to Your Central Provident Fund (CPF) Account

Enjoy tax deductions under the CPF Relief scheme when you make contributions to your CPF account!

CPF Relief For Employees

As a Singaporean / Permanent Resident employee, you are entitled to CPF Relief for making contributions to your CPF.

Qualifying Contributions

These contributions are claimable under CPF Relief:

• Compulsory CPF contributions made under the CPF Act
• Voluntary contributions to your MA
• Contributions to any approved provident fund or pension

 

Claims on the following contributions are however not permissible:

• Voluntary contributions on top of the compulsory contributions stipulated in the CPF Act
• Contributions to CPF
  • That exceeds the CPF cap on wages from related employers
  • Made for your additional wages which exceed the (where you are simultaneously employed by 2 or more related employers within a year)
  • Made for your overseas employment

 

Amount of Relief Claimable

The maximum amount you may claim under the CPF Relief is capped at the respective wage ceilings:

• Ordinary Wage Ceiling: $6,000 per month x months worked
• Additional Wage Ceiling: $102,000 – Total Ordinary Wage subject to CPF

(Where $102,000 is derived from 17 months x $6,000)

So with this wage ceiling, the amount you contribute to your CPF (up to 20%) is eligible for tax relief.

To calculate, find your compulsory CPF employee contribution (in the table below), and multiply it by your total wages (up to $102,000).

Employee’s age (years)	CPF by employee (% of wage)
55 and below	20
Above 55 to 60	14
Above 60 to 65	8.5
Above 65 to 70	6
Above 70	5

Thus, the maximum relief should you hit the ceiling is $20,400.

We oversimplified this explanation to make it easier for you to understand. However, we suggest checking out IRAS’ illustrations on this.
