I am a self-employed person and I have made contribution to my CPF account. How do I claim the CPF relief?
CPF relief is allowed based on the date of payment of your contributions. For example, to claim for the CPF relief in the Year of Assessment 2025, the contributions must have been paid by 31 Dec 2024.
If you have made Medisave contributions or voluntary CPF contributions during the year, the relief will be automatically allowed in the following year based on information received from CPF Board. You need not make a claim for the relief.
No CPF relief will be allowed in respect of your compulsory Medisave or voluntary CPF contributions made in 2024 if you have no assessable net trade income for the Year of Assessment 2025.
For details, please refer to CPF contributions by a self-employed person.
If your enquiry is regarding your personal tax matters, email us at myTax Portal with your Singpass or Singpass user Foreign user Account (SFA).
