The tax relief scheme has gone from being a percentage of income to a fixed sum, after Budget 2023.
SINGAPORE: From 2025, the Working Mother’s Child Relief will change from a percentage of earned income to a fixed sum.on Tuesday , Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said this would provide more Government support for eligible lower- to middle-income working mothers.
This starting version of the scheme provided working mothers tax relief of 5 per cent, 15 per cent, 20 per cent and 25 per cent of their earned income for their first, second, third and fourth child respectively. In 2016, the Ministry of Finance implemented a S$80,000 cap on the amount of personal income tax relief an individual can claim, which took effect from the Year of Assessment 2018.
The child must not have an annual income exceeding S$4,000. This includes allowances and salaries from National Service, internships, school attachments and part-time jobs. For working mothers with Singaporean children born or adopted before Jan 1, 2024, there will be no changes to their Working Mother’s Child Relief. They can continue to claim it based on the existing scheme.
