I am creating a thread on SRS top-up for 2022. As in previous years. hope that this thread will be useful for sharing this year's (2022) promo (if any) from the three local banks ....

If past years' history can be used as references, SRS top-up promo by the local banks should be out in early October...

SRS withdrawal at retirement age 62,63 although no penalty withdraw slowly for another 10 year and 50% tax on withdrawn amount? That means at least 72,73 then you can touch all your SRS monies and that is even longer than CPF at age 55 after fulfill FRS. Understand objective is for retirement savings but that is way too long for me

It’s more of a cap of 10 years for you to enjoy the 50% tax.

they don’t allow longer to prevent you creaming off more 50% tax.

you can always get it out earlier, just that it is not as tax efficient.

Does the tax on the SRS withdrawal follow the IRAS personal income tax rate?
https://www.iras.gov.sg/taxes/indiv...ncy-and-tax-rates/individual-income-tax-rates
E.g. Withdraw $10k SRS in year 1 and earn $30k net rental also in year 1, hence total income is $40k. So the tax rate is 0% on the whole or 50% on the $10k and 0% on the $30k?

Treat it as the amount you take out, 50% of it will add to your gross income for tax purpose.


SRS simply delays your tax obligation and essentially reduces it by 50% for the amount withdrawn
