The WMCR is available to married, divorced or widowed working mothers with taxable earned income from employment or through pensions, trade or business, or through a profession or vocation
The Working Mother’s Child Relief was first introduced in 2004 as a tax relief scheme to encourage women to continue working after they give birth to children. The scheme offered much-needed childcare relief and maternity benefits amidst the rising living cost in Singapore.
Say, a working mother with an annual income of S$40,000 can only claim S$6,000 in WMCR for her child with the current scheme to reduce her taxable income to S$34,000. After 1 January 2024, the claimable relief sum in the same scenario will be increased to S$8,000. The taxable income will be lowered to S$32,000. This leaves the working mother with a higher disposable income to spend on her child.
If you gave birth to a child or become a mother to a step-child who is not your own, the date of birth of these children will determine the child’s order. However, do note that a deceased child must be counted as part of the order as well. As long as you are the natural mother of the stillborn child, you can still claim WMCR.
