Is annual limit for CPF contribution ($37,740) applicable to Retirement Sum Top-Up Scheme (RSTU)?

From CPF's FAQ page, it is only mentioned that the annual limit for Voluntary Contributions (VC) is $37,740 and is applicable to two types of VC - one made to all 3 CPF accounts and the other just Medisave Account (MA).

My question is:
For example, my Mandatory Contribution (MC) is $30,000/year, and I did a RSTU of $7,000, and a VC to MA of $7,000. The total CPF contribution for the year is $44,000. Am I exempted from tax for the total $44,000 contributed to CPF in that year?
