Have you ever wondered why the Singapore government created the Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS) ?

The Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS) is designed to encourage individuals to voluntarily save more for their golden years. SRS contributions are made over and above CPF contributions and enjoy tax relief as well. You can grow your SRS funds exponentially through long-term investments, which could better increase your investment value to give you a more comfortable retirement.

𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
Annual Income: $150,000
Personal Tax Relieft: $10,000
Amount Contributed to SRS: $15,300
– Tax Relief of $15,300 will be included in the following Year of Assessment

So what is the Tax Payable, with and without tax relief?
Without SRS Contribution: Tax Payable is $10,950
