I have paid excess CPF contributions above the Additional Wage (AW) ceiling and the CPF Annual Limit, how can I apply for a refund in these situations?
CPF contributions above the Additional Wage (AW) ceiling
If you have paid excess CPF contributions exceeding the AW ceiling, you should apply for a refund by selecting ‘Refund of payments made for 1 employee/platform worker’.
To apply for a refund of payment made more than one year from the current date, please write to us by selecting ‘Compliance and rectifications’ under Subject and ‘Applying for Refund of CPF contributions’ under Category.
CPF contributions paid in excess of the CPF Annual Limit
Starting February 2024, CPF contributions paid in excess of the CPF Annual Limit for the preceding year will be automatically refunded to the employer.
However, there is no need to wait for the annual automatic refund. If you have paid excess CPF contributions above the CPF Annual Limit, you should apply for a refund promptly. You can do this online by selecting ‘Refund of payments made for 1 employee/platform worker’.
