Chargeable income is not your salary
Chargeable income is what remains after reliefs. Most employees can deduct CPF relief on their own contributions and earned income relief. Parents, NSmen, caregivers and those topping up CPF or contributing to SRS can claim more.

Ways to reduce the bill
- Restaurant '++' prices add a 10% service charge first, then 9% GST on the total.
- Personal income tax relief is capped at S$80,000 a year in total.
- Chargeable income is income after reliefs, so claim every relief you qualify for before working out the tax.
- Non-residents cannot claim personal reliefs, which is why their effective rate is usually higher.
Background
IRAS issues a notice of assessment, usually from April onwards, and tax is due within a month, although most people opt for interest-free GIRO instalments. Estimating your bill early means you can budget for it instead of being surprised.
Reliefs lower chargeable income before rates apply. Common ones include earned income relief, CPF relief for employee contributions, parent and handicapped parent relief, working mother's child relief, NSman relief, course fees relief, and relief for SRS contributions and CPF cash top-ups. Total personal reliefs are capped at S$80,000 a year.
The Goods and Services Tax rose from 8% to 9% on 1 January 2024. Businesses with taxable turnover above S$1 million must register, and GST-registered retailers must quote prices to consumers inclusive of GST, so most shelf prices already include it.
