Can I get tax relief when I top up my child's or non-immediate family member’s MediSave Account?
No. Tax relief is not available for cash top-ups made to your child's or non-immediate family member's MediSave Accounts.
 
Tax relief is intended to encourage members to build up healthcare savings for themselves or their immediate family members, particularly older Singaporeans who may have less healthcare savings.
 
However, your children have longer remaining working lifespans and would have more time to build up their healthcare savings for their own healthcare needs. Hence, there is no tax relief for top-ups made to your children or non-immediate family members.
