Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS) is a voluntary savings scheme to encourage individuals to save for retirement while reducing taxable income.
Savings sitting idle in an SRS account only receive 0.05% per annum - that's just 50 cents per $1000. By investing your SRS savings in our ETFs, investors can make their money work harder and potentially make better returns. Please note that capital is non-guaranteed and the value of investment in our ETFs may fall or rise.
The SRS offers attractive tax benefits. Contributions to SRS are eligible for tax relief. Investment returns are accumulated tax-free and only 50% of the withdrawals from SRS are taxable from statutory retirement age onwards. Withdrawals may be spread over a period of up to 10 years to meet financial needs. Spreading out withdrawals will generally result in greater tax savings. With careful planning, a retiree who is likely to have a low marginal tax rate, may end up paying little or no tax on his SRS withdrawals.
Please note: SRS contributions are subject to a cap on personal income tax relief of $80,000 per Year of Assessment. As SRS contributions made cannot be refunded, SRS members who make SRS contributions should evaluate whether they would benefit from tax relief on their SRS contributions, and make an informed decision accordingly. Any withdrawal from a SRS account before statutory retirement age will be subject to tax for the entire sum withdrawn, and a 5% penalty will also be imposed unless in exceptional circumstances such as death or on medical grounds.
There are other applicable terms & conditions. To learn more about SRS, visit:
A reduction in your final tax payable by getting a dollar-for-dollar tax relief on your SRS contributions which reduces your chargeable income.
If you start withdrawing your SRS funds at the statutory retirement age that was prevailing as at your first SRS contribution, you can get tax relief by only having to pay taxes on 50% of your withdrawals for the next 10 years.
There’s a maximum of how much you can contribute to your SRS account each year.
