Annuity Payments: Personal, Business and SRS Treatment

Annuities received in Singapore are generally non-taxable, including CPF LIFE payouts, but business, SRS and employer-funded arrangements have exceptions.

Source checked · 11 October 2026

Review taxable annuity sources

For business or Singapore partnership annuities, the page describes taxation of 3% of the purchase amount, or full further payouts once cumulative payouts equal the purchase amount. SRS annuities follow the relevant 100% or 50% withdrawal treatment. An employer-bought annuity replacing pension or employment benefits has its full payout taxed.

Reporting route

Taxable partnership or employer-policy annuities are declared under “Other Income”. SRS annuity information is sent electronically by the SRS operator and need not be separately declared. Identify the policy funding and arrangement before choosing the reporting route.
