| Many lower income Singaporeans
do not pay personal income tax. To ensure that they
too benefit from our economic success, the rebates granted
last year on HDB Service and Conservancy (S&C) charges
and rentals to citizen householders staying in rented
and owner-occupied HDB flats will be extended for another
year, with some modifications. The rebates will be as
follows:
- One-Room Flats
Three months' net rent and three months' net S&C
charges, after deduction of the GST offset rebates.
The rental and S&C rebates will be made on 1 July,
1 September and 1 December this year.
- Two-Room Flats
Two months' net rent and three months' net S&C
charges, after deduction of the GST offset rebates.
The rental rebates will be made on 1 July and 1 December,
and the S&C rebates on 1 July, 1 September and
1 December this year.
- Three-Room Flats
Three months' net S&C charges after deduction
of the GST offset rebates. The rebates will take effect
on 1 July, 1 September and 1 December this year.
- Four-Room Flats
Two months' gross S&C charges, to be made on 1
July and 1 December this year.
- Five-Room Flats
Two months' gross S&C charges, to be made on 1
July and 1 December this year.
The estimated cost of these rental
and S&C rebates is $53 million. |
