The Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS) is a voluntary scheme to encourage working individuals to save for their retirement, over and above their CPF savings.

 

The scheme provides the following Tax advantages:

- Participants are eligible for tax relief on the contributions they make to their SRS account

- Investment returns are tax-free except for Singapore dividends

- Participants who reach the statutory retirement age prevailing at the time of the first contribution are taxed only on 50% of the total amount withdrawn.
