950,000 HDB Households to receive GST Voucher – U-Save rebates and S&CC rebates in April 2022

31 Mar 2022

 They will receive double their regular U-Save this FY; Total U-Save and S&CC rebates for the year will amount to about $720 million

              About 950,000 Singaporean households living in HDB flats will receive their quarterly GSTV – U-Save and GSTV – S&CC rebates in April 2022. These payouts are part of the enhanced permanent GST Voucher (GSTV) scheme and Household Support Package (HSP) announced at Budget 2022, and will provide continuing help to defray the GST and other living expenses of lower- to middle-income Singaporean households.
 
2            Under the enhanced GSTV scheme, eligible households will receive GSTV – S&CC rebates to offset between 1.5 and 3.5 months of their S&CC each year. The rebates will be disbursed in April, July, October, and January.
 
3            Households will receive double their regular U-Save this FY. This amounts to about 8 to 10 months’ worth of utility bills for the average household living in 1- and 2-room HDB flats, and about 4 to 6 months’ worth of utility bills for the average household living in 3- and 4-room HDB flats.
 
4            The GSTV – U-Save rebates that households will receive in this FY are summarised in the table below.
