Frequently

Asked

Questions

What is the Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG)?
FAQ Down Arrow

The Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) is a government grant administered by Enterprise Singapore that helps Singapore SMEs adopt pre-approved digital solutions and equipment, including cloud accounting software like Xero. It offsets part of the cost so you can digitalise for less.

How much funding does the PSG provide?
FAQ Down Arrow

PSG provides up to 50% funding support on the eligible cost of a pre-approved solution, capped at S$30,000 per company. We scope your solution and confirm the exact support you can claim before you commit.

How much does Xero cost with the PSG grant?
FAQ Down Arrow

It depends on the package. Our PSG-supported Xero packages range from the subscription on its own up to full setup, training, and migration, and they start from around S$385. PSG covers up to 50% of the eligible cost, capped at S$30,000, so what you pay out of pocket is lower than the full price. We confirm your exact figure, and the support you can claim, in your quotation. Request a quotation to see your price.

Is Xero eligible for the PSG grant?
FAQ Down Arrow

Yes. Xero is a PSG pre-approved accounting solution, and Harvest Accounting is a pre-approved vendor, so you can claim PSG support on your Xero setup through us.

Who is eligible for the PSG grant?
FAQ Down Arrow

Your business needs to be registered and operating in Singapore, have at least 30% local shareholding held by Singapore citizens or PRs, and be an SME, with a group annual turnover of up to S$100 million or up to 200 employees. We check your eligibility at the consultation.

How do I apply for the PSG grant?
FAQ Down Arrow

You apply through the Business Grants Portal (BGP) using your company's CorpPass, and you must apply before you pay or place a deposit with the vendor, because PSG does not support retrospective claims. With Harvest the steps are simple: request a quotation from us for your Xero solution, then submit the application yourself on the BGP. Applications usually take around four to six weeks to process.

How does Harvest help with my PSG application?
FAQ Down Arrow

We provide the PSG quotation you need and guide you through the process. You submit the application yourself on the Business Grants Portal using your company's CorpPass, so the grant stays in your company's name, and you apply before paying us. Once your grant is approved, we set up and run Xero for you. Request a quotation to get started.

What is the processing time for applications?
FAQ Down Arrow

Applications are processed within 4-6 weeks from the submission of all required information. Companies are strongly encouraged to submit their applications ahead of time to account for the application outcome and/or processing duration required.

How will the PSG grant disbursement take place?
FAQ Down Arrow

Disbursement of the PSG grant will be credited directly to the company’s bank account through GIRO. The completed GIRO form must be verified by the company’s bank and submitted to ESG before the company’s claim request. For multiple claims, the GIRO form is only required during the submission of the first claim. The company will need to submit a new GIRO form if there are changes to the company’s account details.
