How these were worked out
Chargeable income = annual gross − employee CPF (relief capped at S$37,740) − earned income relief (S$1,000 below 55). Tax then follows the resident rate bands.
Singapore's tax system is simple by global standards, but the progressive bands, reliefs and the 9% GST still trip people up. A quick calculation helps you set aside the right amount before IRAS sends your notice of assessment, or check that a bill has been worked out correctly.
Tax planning in Singapore is mostly about timing and reliefs rather than complex structures. Topping up CPF, contributing to SRS and claiming every relief you qualify for can lower your marginal rate band, and the savings are larger for higher earners.
Singapore taxes individuals on income earned in Singapore, with progressive rates for residents that start at 0% on the first S$20,000 of chargeable income and rise to 24% on income above S$1 million. Tax is assessed a year in arrears: income earned in 2025 is assessed in Year of Assessment 2026.
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.
Tips
- Restaurant '++' prices add a 10% service charge first, then 9% GST on the total.
- SRS and CPF top-up relief save more tax the higher your marginal rate is.
- Keep receipts and records for at least five years in case IRAS asks for them.
