Topup CPF SA vs RA for tax relief – Irony?


Topup CPF SA vs RA for tax relief – Irony?

Why the “young” and the “old” have different focus/objectives?  Or is it because they are both ignorant of what can be done and the benefits?

Young (below 55)

Prefer to do yearly cash topup to CPF Special Account (SA) of $7k to get tax relief, instead of transferring their OA to SA as soon as possible and let compound interest balloon their SA to beyond FRS earliest possible. (assuming they don't need OA for Housing).

Old (above 55)

Prefer to transfer SA/OA or cash topup to RA to hit ERS (Enhanced Retirement Sum) at 55 and let it balloon with compound interest, instead of doing topup to RA to get annual tax relief of up to $7k per annum for personal and get tax relief for others if there is still room? Income tax relief is supposed to be more valuable at an older age assuming higher income levels?


So why are you making such a decision?

Which comes first?
Which is more important?
Which can help you “guarantee” a higher SA balance for retirement? Read How to Stop CPFB from transferring SA to RA
What are other “hidden benefits” or otherwise which you are not aware of?

CPF@55 Policy Designed to Make the Rich Richer!

CPF@55  Policy Designed to Make the Rich Richer! Do you know that  CPF@55  policy can help you get richer with a bigger SA (Special Account Balance) after 55? Yes, provided your are rich with a big OA (Ordinary Account Balance) and SA which exceeds the FRS (Full Retirement Sum).  Assuming you have $240k (SA), $160k (OA) and FRS is $200k, this is how you can become richer after 55: 1.  2 weeks before your 55th birthday, buy a stable Unit Trust Bond Fund with $200k SA under CPFIS/SA investment scheme (minimum $40k SA must be maintained) 2.  On your 55th birthday, CPFB will transfer $40k (SA) and $160k (OA) to your RA (Retirement Account) to form $200k FRS. 3.  Next day, sell your CPFIS/SA investment of $200k, this will be returned to your SA. 4.  You now have $200k (SA) and $0 (OA) after RA is created! What happens on your 55th birthday if you did not do the hack (ie. step 1&3) above?  CPFB will transfer $200k (SA) to RA.  So after 55, you will have $40k (SA) a

NTUC Fairprice Shares pays 5% dividend!

Yesterday I received the NTUC Fairprice Co-operative's dividend and rebate statement for financial year ended March 31, 2008. I was surprised to receive so much money for this investment! I was holding more shares than I thought. I received 5% dividend and 4% in rebate, which had already been credited to my bank account on September 5, 2008. Too bad, that's the maximum each member can hold. Another very good Capital Protected Dividend Stock to own! Ntuc Income Share Pays 9% Dividend for 2009, credited June 3 2010

A small group of analysts did see it coming, did warn their readers about it, and still do sound the alarms when necessary. But you'd be hard-pressed to hear about them from the mainstream f
