Why did I receive a refund of excess CPF contributions paid to my employee(s) when I did not apply for the refund?

Question

Accepted Answer

Starting February 2024, CPF contributions paid in excess of the CPF Annual Limit for the preceding year will be automatically refunded to the employer’s bank account under the Direct Debit arrangement maintained with CPF Board.

You are required to refund the employee’s share of excess contributions, if any, directly to your employee.

As employers, you are required to ensure accurate CPF contributions up to the CPF Annual Limit per year for each employee by applying the Ordinary Wage (OW) ceiling and Additional Wage (AW) ceiling.
