880,000 HDB
households to receive GST voucher rebate in
January
SINGAPORE: About 880,000 Singaporean HDB households will receive
the next instalment of the GST Voucher – Utilities-Save (U-Save)
rebate this month, the Ministry of Finance announced on Tuesday
(Jan 2).
The U-Save rebate is one of three components under the permanent
GST Voucher scheme. The U-Save rebate helps HDB households offset
part of their utilities bills, and serves to lower overall
household expenses. It is distributed every three months. The
U-Save rebate is expected to cost S$265 million over four quarters,
starting from July 2017.
In January 2018, eligible Singaporean households will each receive
a GST Voucher – U-Save of up to S$95, depending on their HDB flat
type.
