What are the types of Voluntary Contributions (VC) I can make for my employees?
You can make Voluntary Contributions (VC) to:
 
  1. Your employee(s)' Special or Retirement Account under the Retirement Sum Topping Up Scheme (RSTU) (tax deduction available to employer and tax relief available to employee).*
  2. Your employee(s)' MediSave Account (tax deduction available to employer and tax relief available to employee ). *
  3. Your employee(s)' MediSave Account via the Additional MediSave Contribution Scheme (AMCS) (tax free for employees and tax benefits available to employers). #
  4. Your employee(s)' three CPF accounts (no tax deduction for employer and no tax relief for employee). #
Please note that your employees must be Singapore Citizens or Singapore Permanent Residents only.
 
# The VC made will be treated as the current month's contribution. Backdating of VC to an earlier date is not allowed.
 
* If your employee is eligible to receive matching grant under the Matched Retirement Savings Scheme or the Matched MediSave Scheme, he/she will not receive tax relief for the top-ups that qualify for the matching grants.
