Colon Cancer Claim - 3 C's ?

Another of my client, age 45, WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MODERATELY DIFFERENTIATED ADENOCARCINOMA OF RECTUM, commonly known as colon cancer.

Life is fragile. IncomeShield and a critical illness plan is so important ( not to advertise ), I have seen and met and plan for many and such are the basics in insurance planning.

I have always mention that whatever Shield plan, one need to be insured. Basic Medishield or any of the private medical insurance plans, Shield Plan.

Critical Illness or Dread Diseases will cripple a person if one is not prepared for the bills that will come along with it.

It is NEEDS to be met before WANTS.

Put the essential needs in place before planning for savings or investment plans.

There is nothing new to write about but just the reality of life.

How to reduce income tax?

Most of us would think that to reduce income tax, is to contribute to SRS, Supplementary Retirement Scheme.

There is also another avenue, that is to do cash top up to parent's retirement account.

If your parent is retired and above 62, and you have been giving your parents allowance, one can actually do cash top up of up to $7000 to parent's CPF Retirement account and the parent gets a monthly draw down of $297.

If you have been giving allowance to your parents, this is one way to claim tax by doing cash top up.

You can have a joint bank account, and the monthly payout from the MSS, $297 will be credited to the account monthly and at the same time there is tax relief.
