Enjoy tax relief* while saving for retirement

A Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS) account helps you save on taxes while saving for your retirement at the same time. As the saying goes, a dollar saved is a dollar earned – contributions to your SRS account give you dollar-for-dollar tax relief*, which means extra dollars you get to put towards your retirement savings.

Important Information

 

For Unit Trusts

You may wish to seek advice from a financial adviser before purchasing units in any unit trust (the “Fund”). In the event that you choose not to seek advice from a financial adviser, you should consider carefully whether the Fund in question is suitable for you. Past performance of the Fund or the manager of the Fund (the "Fund Manager"), and any economic and market trends or forecast, are not necessarily indicative of the future or likely performance of the Fund or the Fund Manager. The value of units in the Fund, and any income accruing to the units from the Fund, may fall or rise. You should note that your investment is exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates if the Base Currency of the Fund and/or underlying investment is different from the currency of your investment. You should read the prospectus, available from the respective Fund Manager or its distributors, before deciding to subscribe for or purchase units in the Fund. Applications for units of the Fund must be made on the application forms accompanying the prospectus. Investments in unit trusts are not obligations of, deposits in, or guaranteed or insured by UOB, Fund Manager or any subsidiary or associate of UOB or any of their affiliates, or by any distributors of the Fund, and are subject to risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Buying a life insurance policy is a long term commitment. An early termination of the policy usually involves high costs and the surrender value payable (if any) may be less than the total premiums paid. Investments are subject to investment risks including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. The value of the units, and the income accruing to the units, if any, may fall or rise.

Frequently asked questions about SRS

Can I have more than one SRS Account?
chevron

No. You may not have more than one SRS account at any point in time. Do note that if you previously had an SRS account, but had withdrawn all the monies in it after having attained the relevant retirement age* or on medical grounds and then closed it, you will also not be permitted to open a new account.

(*The statutory retirement age that was prevailing when you made your first SRS contribution. The current statutory retirement age is at 63.)

You may contribute any amount to your SRS account up to your SRS contribution cap of S$15,300 for Singaporeans and PRs, and S$35,700 for foreigners.

Besides the benefit of having more savings to draw on when you retire, you will enjoy the following tax benefits on contributions to SRS:

You can claim tax relief for contributions made to your SRS account. SRS contributions made on or after 1 Jan 2017 are subject to a cap on personal income tax relief of $80,000 per Year of Assessment (YA) from YA 2018. From YA 2018, each dollar of SRS contribution will reduce your income chargeable to tax by a dollar, if your personal income tax relief (including the SRS relief) does not exceed $80,000 per YA.

Investment gains will accumulate tax-free in SRS.

Tax will be payable only when you withdraw your SRS savings (comprising both your SRS contributions and gains on investments). If you withdraw your SRS savings upon retirement*, only 50% of the savings withdrawn will be subject to tax. If you purchase an annuity, this concession applies for as long as you receive the annuity stream. Otherwise, you may spread your withdrawals over a period of up to 10 years to meet your financial needs. Spreading out your withdrawals will generally result in greater tax savings.

(*Upon reaching the statutory retirement age that was prevailing when you made your first SRS contribution.)

You can do so via Personal Internet Banking or at the branch. You do not need to make a claim in your tax return as it will be allowed automatically based on information provided by us to IRAS.
