It really depends on your income level and the current tax bracket that you are in.

Most tax reduction methods have a limit on it and the most common methods are:

  1. Donations
  2. SA Top up
  3. SRS
  4. Parenthood Tax Rebate
  5. Topping up of parents CPF

Do note that the maximum relief per year is S$80,000.

The 2 most common ways are to top up your CPF Special Account & to contribute to the Supplementary Retirement Scheme. Both of which are geared towards funding your retirement years.

The out of the box way is to have children & lower your tax payable via the Parenthood Tax Rebate.
