I feel that it makes more sense to use the 12month payment plan (it’s totally interest free!) to pay your taxes. This allows you to use the lump sum to invest and try to achieve more than the 1.7% cashback you can get from using your Grabpay method.
To qualify for tax relief for cash top-ups made to your spouse or siblings, they must not have an annual income of more than $4,000 in the year preceding the year of top-up (e.g. salary or tax-exempt income such as bank interest, dividends, and pension) or be handicapped. this is an important caveat if want to top up spouse CPF
Additional perspective on topping up loved on CPF - If you are making cash top-ups for a spouse or sibling, you will only be eligible for the tax relief if the recipient's income in the previous year does not exceed $4,000 or if the recipient is handicapped. So if your wife is earning more than $4,000 a year (which is almost impossible) then you are not eligible for the tax relief...
Kelvin, very interesting video. BTW, in your last example, it appears you have omitted the CPF relief for employees. Hence, might no need to spend on course and others..yet no need to pay tax at all.
For SRS you can top to save tax and invest the funds in your SRS account for better returns as well. For CPF SA top up you get tax relief as well and SA pays min 4% guaranteed.
Hi, I'm S pass holder from foreign country. I'd like to move my saved money from my native country to Singapore as S$ in Singapore bank. May I know still do i need to give tax to Singapore government for my total money? Thanks.
Hi Kelvin, thanks for all the videos once again! I appreciate this video, as well as the video on SGS. Can I ask if I am investing in SSB and T bills, not in SRS, do I need to pay Taxes?
You will need to fork out $33,500 of cold hard cash to top up to save on taxes when you are only earning $6k+ a month. That's crazy. Just top up abit if you need n bring yourself down into the 3.5% bracket. $550 of tax, pay by instalment, less than $50 every month. Ok lah.....
@@KelvinLearnsInvesting Only the CPF, SRS, Donation and Course are used. So slightly below $40k gone only, it’s good that u are saving 50% of your annual income. Ultimately if u are saving money for the long term, contributing to SRS and CPF and then invest from there or just getting the CPF interest is much better than saving in the bank account long term wise.
@@andyho2059 I agree the video has lots of good information and I enjoyed it. But the example at the end is not so realistic. Not sure if Kelvin has children. Someone with $80k income will take home lesser than that. And with a child, it is definitely not possible to contribute so much to CPF and SRS. Let alone attend a $5.5k course.But of course he need to show how useful the information can help to reduce the income tax.
HI Kelvin , someone added me on IG claiming to be you and wanted me to invest in crypto ..have exact IG post as yours but the account is new . wonder is it you ?
You need to know Kelvin style.. Normally legitimate kelvin always show animal pictures, tag lines - 'can eat one', 'talk until saliva also dry ar', Aunty caifan. You try ask u know aunty caifan? If he doesn't know, confirm fake liao. 😂

Lies again? Turbo Tax
Does the UOB card still works in FY2023?
Donation is not really a form of tax relief. Mathematically you end up paying more instead of reducing your tax.
Kelvin, very interesting video. BTW, in your last example, it appears you have omitted the CPF relief for employees. Hence, might no need to spend on course and others..yet no need to pay tax at all.
Instead of topping up CPF and SRS, isn't it better if we use that amount of money to invest for better return?
For SRS you can top to save tax and invest the funds in your SRS account for better returns as well. For CPF SA top up you get tax relief as well and SA pays min 4% guaranteed.
If your investment yields a return greater then 4%,of course. Toping up cpf is guaranteed 4%.

Very insightful video. Thanks Kelvin
Hi Kelvin, thanks for all the videos once again! I appreciate this video, as well as the video on SGS. Can I ask if I am investing in SSB and T bills, not in SRS, do I need to pay Taxes?
No tax on investments, like stock and bonds
@@KelvinLearnsInvesting thanks for the quick reply. So investment gains and withdrawal does not incurred tax! 👍🏻
U mentioned Amex Grabpay but next u use UOB cash back. Which is recommended??
Ah my bad, the AMEX card i'm referring to is UOB Absolute
Does Grab still accept the UOB absolute cashback card?
Yes
Great tips. Thank you
Hi Kelvin, for the parents relief, I am PR and my parents stay in Malaysia, am I entitled to fill up for tax relief?
Parents need to be living in sg for at least 8 months
The final part context is only applicable to woman with kids, as WMCR meant for working mom

That introduction at the start was indeed... Funny 🤣

Show us a cute what??
with all the claims, that meant you would have to “spend” 57k out of your 80k income and you’re left with ~23k to survive for the year…gg
Wait... that's not how it works : O
