I am a freelancer earning ~1k a month, I did not file tax nor contribute CPF, will I be eligible for the self-employed relief scheme? Is it too late for me?

What's the criteria for me to be eligible for the self-employed relief scheme?

You can start now!!!

you will need to declare your income with cpf online via my cpf Online Services using your SingPass. Alternatively, you may declare your income at any SingPost Office.

And, make the MediSave contributions accordingly (use the Workfare Calculator to compute the required MediSave contributions based on your declared NTI).

Do now hor....

Hi there anon,

You can actually appeal to the government via NTUC and MOM after 30 April.

You definitely fit into this criteria: "They must also have started self-employment on or before March 25, and must not earn any income as employees." but I do believe that you would have to contribute to your CPF or Tax to get a record on you being a self employed.

Mr Heng said that the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) has stepped up to help the Ministry of Manpower administer the applications and appeals for Sirs.
