     About 950,000 Singaporean households living in HDB flats will receive U-Save and Service and Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebates in January 2024. These rebates are part of the permanent GST Voucher (GSTV) scheme and the Assurance Package, to help defray GST and provide cost-of-living support for lower- to middle-income households. The rebates are disbursed in April, July, October, and January each year. This will be the fourth quarterly disbursement for FY2023.

2.   In FY2023, eligible households will receive double their regular U-Save rebates, and an additional $20 per quarter of U-Save from January 2024 to cushion the impact of the increases in carbon tax and water price. The additional $20 per quarter of U-Save, which will be provided every quarter from January 2024 to December 2025 (i.e. $80/year for 2 years), was announced by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Lawrence Wong on 28 September 2023 as part of a $1.1 billion support package for cost-of living relief.

3.   On average, the U-Save provided in FY2023 amounts to about 8 to 10 months of utility bills for households living in 1- and 2-room HDB flats, and about 4 to 6 months of utility bills for households living in 3- and 4-room HDB flats. The U-Save rebates that households will receive in FY2023 are summarised in Table 1.

4.   The S&CC rebates that eligible households will receive in FY2023 are summarised in Table 2. This includes an additional one-off 0.5 month of S&CC rebate in January 2024 that was similarly part of the support package for cost-of-living announced on 28 September 2023.

5.   Eligible households do not need to take any action to benefit from the U-Save and S&CC rebates, including the additional rebates announced on 28 September 2023 as part of the Cost-of-Living Support Package. The U-Save rebates will be credited directly into households’ utilities accounts with SP Services, while the S&CC rebates will be credited directly into households’ S&CC accounts with their respective Town Councils.
