Official description

Source: MINISTRY OF FINANCE Data Last Updated: 20/03/2026 Update Frequency: Annual Footnotes: Data refer to the Government's financial year, which begins on 1 April of the current year and ends on 31 March of the following year. Fiscal position may not be fully comparable across financial years due to the reclassification of revenue and expenditure items over time. Data for FY2026 are budgeted estimates. Data for FY2025 are revised estimates. Data up to FY2024 are actual figures. Figures may not add up due to rounding. Data may differ from previous years due to revisions to GDP estimates. Year-on-year comparison for Fees and Charges (Excluding Vehicle Quota Premiums) and Others between FY2025 and FY2026 may not be meaningful due to changes in scope (see explanatory notes in The Revenue and Expenditure Estimates for the Financial Year 2026/2027 published by the Ministry of Finance) www.singaporebudget.gov.sg/revenue-and-expenditure/revenue-expenditure-estimates Adapted from: https://tablebuilder.singstat.gov.sg/table/TS/M130661
