Take Control of Your Finances While Growing Your Retirement Wealth
The best time to prepare for next year’s tax season is now. If you’re looking for smart ways to reduce future tax bills and build a stronger retirement plan, the Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS) offers you a powerful advantage. This government-backed initiative helps you grow your wealth through strategic investing while giving you tax relief when you need it most.
What is the Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS)?
More than just a savings account, SRS is a tax-saving and investment tool designed to boost your long-term financial security. It’s available to Singaporeans, Permanent Residents, and foreigners working in Singapore. Contributions to your SRS account can reduce your taxable income while you invest and grow your funds for retirement.
Who Can Contribute?
✅ Anyone aged 18 and above with the mental capacity to manage finances
✅ Singaporeans and PRs: Up to $15,300 annual contribution
✅ Foreigners: Up to $35,700 annual contribution
Why Start Contributing Now?
By contributing early in the year, you not only spread out your financial commitments but also gain more time to invest and grow your funds. For example, setting aside $1,275/month for Singaporeans and PRs makes full use of the annual SRS limit —lowering your taxable income and building your retirement nest egg gradually.
Smart Withdrawals = Lower Taxes
Once you reach the statutory retirement age of 63, you can begin tax-efficient withdrawals from your SRS account. You can either:
Withdraw everything at once, or
Spread your withdrawals over 10 years for optimal tax benefits
The 10-Year Strategy works best for many. If you’ve accumulated S$400,000 in SRS, withdrawing S$40,000/year for 10 years means:
✅ Only 50% (S$20,000) is taxable each year
✅ With Singapore’s tax relief threshold at S$20,000, you could pay zero tax on withdrawals
✅ Enjoy a steady, tax-efficient income stream throughout retirement
Don’t Let Your SRS Funds Sit Idle — Invest for Growth!
Leaving your SRS funds in the default account earns only 0.05% interest—far below inflation. Maximize your returns by investing in:
✅ Stocks & REITs
✅ Bonds & Fixed Deposits
✅ Unit Trusts & ETFs
The earlier you start, the more time your money has to grow. Even outside of tax season, your future self will thank you for acting now.
