Singapore resident tax rates (YA 2027)
Singapore applies a progressive tax system to residents: 0% below S$20,000, stepping up through 2%, 3.5%, 7%, 11.5%, 15%, 18%, 19%, 19.5%, 20%, 22%, 23%, and topping out at 24% above S$1 million. Non-residents pay a flat 15% or the progressive rate, whichever is higher.
What counts as chargeable income?
Chargeable income = total gross income − employee CPF contributions − SRS − personal reliefs (earned income, parent, child, working mother, course fees, life insurance, etc.). Total personal reliefs are capped collectively at S$80,000 per year.
Why SRS is worth it
Contributing to SRS (up to S$15,300/year citizens, S$35,700 foreigners) reduces chargeable income dollar-for-dollar. At the 15% marginal rate, S$15,300 SRS saves S$2,295 in tax today. Withdrawals from age 63 over 10 years are only 50% taxable — massive long-term arbitrage.
Parenthood + NSman reliefs
Working mothers get up to 15% (one child) / 40% (three+) of earned income deducted. Qualifying Child Relief: S$4,000 per child. NSman Relief: S$3,000–S$5,000 for self, S$750 for wife/parents. Stack these with care against the S$80k cap.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know, in one place.
What are Singapore resident tax rates for YA 2027?
Progressive from 0% (below S$20k) to 24% (above S$1M). Key bands: 2% on S$20-30k, 7% on S$40-80k, 11.5% on S$80-120k, 15% on S$120-160k, 22% on S$320k-500k. No change announced in Budget 2026.
How does CPF reduce my taxable income?
Mandatory CPF contributions (20% employee rate up to the OW ceiling) are fully deductible from chargeable income. On S$100k gross, CPF is ~S$16,320 — directly reducing the amount you pay tax on.
What is SRS and is it worth it?
Supplementary Retirement Scheme. Voluntary top-up (up to S$15,300/yr for citizens, S$35,700 for foreigners) — fully deductible. Withdrawals at retirement taxed at 50% of amount. Worth it if your current marginal rate is 11.5%+.
What reliefs can I claim?
Beyond CPF: earned income relief (S$1,000), parent relief, child relief, working mother relief, NSman, course fees, life insurance. Total personal reliefs capped at S$80,000/year — important for high earners.
Am I a Singapore tax resident?
You are a tax resident if you are a Singapore Citizen/PR residing in Singapore (except for temporary absences) OR you stay/work in Singapore for 183+ days in the calendar year. Residents enjoy progressive rates and reliefs. Non-residents pay flat 15% (or resident rates if higher) on employment income and a flat 24% on other income with no reliefs. Short-term employment under 60 days is fully exempt (except for directors, professionals, public entertainers).
When must I file my Singapore tax return?
By 18 April (e-filing) or 15 April (paper) each year. Most employees on the Auto-Inclusion Scheme (AIS) find their salary pre-filled by IRAS — just check, add reliefs, and submit. Payment in one lump sum by 30 June, or sign up for GIRO to spread over 12 interest-free instalments from May-April. Late filing incurs S$200 penalty; prolonged non-filing triggers prosecution and estimated assessments. Keep records 5 years.
