Don't quite understand. Because below $8K,。exact amount of cash top up for maximum allowable relief so is it a dollar for a dollar, tax waival?
Tax relief refers to a deduction in assessable income, not a deduction from your tax payable

For illustration, you earn $5000, pay $500 in income tax. You got a tax relief of $500, it means you pay taxes for $5000 - 500 = $4500.... which might mean a $450 income tax....

Come on leh... this is something you should know even while in secondary school

No sure why TS keep using “waiver”.

it is not an IRAS term for personal income tax.

How many times do you want us to tell you it is a "no"?

Are you waiting for the odd guy who would come here and tell you a "yes"?

I am not asking about tax calculation of assessable and chargeable income.

You did a VC on MA/SA cool.

This will reduce your taxable income by the amount VC.

Don’t use wavier, you create confusion.

How much is the reduction for $200 tax payable?
If you billed $200 tax, you are in the 3.5% bracket. You chargeable income will be around $30,000 per annum. You want to do VC (Subject to prevailing quantum) with an amount to bring chargeable income to $30,000.

Seek professional assistance if you want.
