Budget 2024: Singapore to issue 50% personal income tax rebate

The rebate is capped at $200.

Singaporeans will get a 50% personal income tax rebate capped at $200 for 2024 due to concerns over the cost of living.

During his budget delivery, Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said the move, which will benefit middle-class income workers, will cost the government $350m.

Aside from this, the government will increase the annual income threshold for dependent-related reliefs to $8,000 by 2025.

This is double the current threshold for dependent-related reliefs which stands at $4,000.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
