About the session

Costs of living continue to remain high this year, but yet, not everyone has plans to keep their income taxes low just yet. The SRS — or Supplementary Retirement Scheme – is a great way to cut down your tax bill.

It is also a strategy to better prepare for retirement by capitalising on the excess cash you might have on hand, which only earns you 0.05% p.a. in your bank account. 

Join Sheng Shi Chiam, Business Development & Partnerships Lead at Endowus, together with Lean Sing Ding, Senior Client Advisor at Endowus as they share more about the various discretionary tax relief schemes you can utilise to minimise your tax expenses in 2024. Tune into learn more as they discuss: 

1. How to optimise your SRS for tax reliefs and retirement planning
2. How your income tax bill is calculated and what are the ways to lower it
3. What everyone should know about the CPF SA Retirement Sum Top-up Scheme
4. How you can use Endowus for your various SRS investment preferences

There will be a Q&A segment at the end of the session. Submit your questions ahead of time here.
