Hi all! Would like to enquire about income tax relief for topping up parent’s CPF account. Any advice if there is an income threshold for parents?
I viewed IRAS’s FAQ and the website only mentioned the spouse or sibling must not earn more than $4k. The website did not mention if there is any income threshold for parents. Reason being I want to top up my mom’s CPF account but she intends to find a job.

Hi anon,
There is no income threshold for parents. As stated on the IRAS website:
This income threshold does not apply to parents, grandparents, handicapped spouse or handicapped siblings.
So even if she finds a job, it won't affect you topping up her CPF SA/RA.

The income threshold of $4k per year only applies to spouse and siblings.
Parents and grandparents...
