Assessable Income (AI)
This is your income after deducting allowable expenses and approved donations.
Includes:
- Salary
- Business/trade income
- Rental income
Example:
Income: S$35,000
Donations: S$5,000

Annual Value (AV)
The AV is the estimated yearly rent your home could fetch — not your actual rental income.
IRAS calculates it using market data of similar properties.
To check your home’s AV:
IRAS “Check Annual Value of Property” portal.
Singapore Citizen Rule
Only Singapore Citizens are eligible.
If you hold another citizenship at the same time, ICA will need to settle your status before you can receive GSTV.
