Foreign Domestic Worker Levy

Employers who are not Singapore Citizens have to pay a monthly levy of $300.00 to the government on top of the domestic helper's salary. However, Singaporeans who has no children below 16 year old or has no elderly people aged 67 years who are staying with them will not be eligible for the levy concession pf $60.00. We will assist you in completing a GIRO form-authorization for electronic direct debit mechanism, as a means to collect payments i.e. levy

It’s $60.00 levy if:

  • the employer or spouse has a child who is a Singapore Citizen below the age of 16 years staying in the same household as the employer; or
  • the employer/ co-residing spouse is a Singapore Citizen aged 65 years or above; or
  • the employer has an elderly parent who is a Singapore Citizen aged 65 years or above staying in the same household as the employer.
