Foreign Domestic Worker Levy Concession for Persons with Disabilities


The scheme enables families who employ full-time FDWs to look after their loved ones with disabilities to pay a lower monthly concessionary FDW levy of $120 (instead of $265) if they are eligible.

Each household is eligible for levy concessions for up to two FDWs at any one time, including concession granted under other levy concession schemes.

* These are the “Young child/ grandchild” and “Aged person” levy concession schemes. For more information and to apply for these schemes, please visit www.mom.gov.sg.
