If my CPF SA account is already at FRS ($181k), can i deploy or invest some money from SA account so that the SA sum is below FRS amount and then top up $7k cash to qualify for tax exemption?

Hi Anon, no you cannot. The FRS cap for top ups is inclusive of amount used for investment. So you cannot do an RSTU after FRS is met.

Consider SRS instead of you're still planning to save some money on tax.

CPF top up to Special Account - After hitting the SA limit, can I invest using SA such that I do not meet the limit and top up SA with cash for tax relief? After top up, I liquidate back to SA.

My current main investment mode is monthly investment plan in STI ETF. Topping up CPF SA seems likes an attractive option at 4% p.a. and tax relief. Is there ever a possibility of losing CPF money?

Would like to check if I top up $7K to my CPF SA account, does it mean that I could only top up to $8.3K in SRS so that I max out $15.3K maximum contribution per SRS limit for tax deduction?
