if you did not declare to IRAS and still contribute to CPF voluntarily, then IRAS will be knocking on your door to ask where you get the money from?
Unless you have a very good explaination....I suggest you better declare to avoid running into trouble with the law.

The amount of subsidies and loan quantum you can take depends on your declared income for freelancer. If you declared $0 income, CPF or banks cannot loan you any money because you earn $0 (as declared). Because these are institutions that lend money, they will need proof of income hence, the Tax statement for freelancers or for regular salaried employee is just payslips For regular salaried people, it is all automated.
