I pay about 100 in income taxes each year. Is it worth it for me to open an SRS account? Can I instead of paying taxes use the tax to pay my SRS account?

Tax Relief, just mean reduction of assessable income. It is not a tax rebate.

If you pay $100 to your SRS, you only reduce your tax by $2. This is because your income tax rate is only 2%.

At what income bracket does it become worth topping up SA / SRS, to enjoy tax savings? I'm 26, earning $28,000 and paying tax of $160 a year – not sure if that's worth?

I started work in January this year. When will I need to pay tax? If I would like to use the SRS scheme to reduce my taxable income, when would I need to do this by?

I’ll be bringing in an annual income of arnd 60+k this year and realised I’ll have to pay quite abit of income tax. Would like to know how I can utilise CPF & SRS effectively to minimise tax payable?

Should I open SRS Account, knowing that my income tax is around $70 with a tax rebate 50% which is around $33?

Is it more worth it to use Gemini referral code (earn 10 USD in BTC if trade above US$100 within 30 days of account opening) or use the current 2 week fee-free trading promo?
