When you pay your employees, you take a part of their money and send it to their Central Provident Fund (CPF) account. The CPF Lodgement Reporting feature allows you to create a report on employee CPF Lodgements that were processed in a pay run within your business. You can also download a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CPFB) data file or save the information in a PDF format.

Further information
- The ability to download an FTP file is only enabled when a CSN is provided in the payroll settings Statutory reporting settings CPF settings page.
- The primary CSN is used for the mandatory payments; must have the payment type PTE.
- Additional CSN’s are only used for Voluntary Employer CPF and/or Voluntary Employer MediSave payments. Payment types VCT and'AMS are used for these payments.
- If there are multiple employing entities set up, files will be produced for each EE CSN set up where there is a relevant payment in the pay run.
- If voluntary employer CPF contributions have been made in the pay run for employees who are not citizens or permanent residents, NRIC does not start with T or S. The CPF amounts will not be included in the FTP file. These amounts must be manually added into the CPFB website.
- Skills development levy (SDL) and self-help group contribution amounts will be included in the file for these employees. However when the report is generated for a date range as opposed to a pay run, the report will include data for all finalised pay runs which fall within that period. For example, if the business has a monthly pay schedule and a monthly managers pay schedule and each have a pay run with the same pay period, the CPF file produced will contain data for both pay runs. This allows the CPF data to be reported in a single file, instead of needing to do it multiple times for each pay run/schedule. The skills development levy (SDL) value is rounded down to the nearest dollar ($) in the FTP file.
Yes, you can. If the CPF settings have been provided for CPF payments, you will now see a Download CPF Lodgement Report button. This button allows you to generate the FTP file for uploading and making payments to the Central Provident Fund Board (CPFB).
You will receive this warning that says Any CPF contributions allocated to employees who are not permanent residents or citizens will not be included in this file and will need to be manually added into the CPFB website for payment. Are you sure you wish to continue? Clicking the Confirm button will download the report automatically as a .zip file.
