SINGAPORE - About 800,000 Singaporean HDB households with receive $45 million worth of GST Voucher - Utilities-Save (U-Save) rebates in October 2014.
The regular GST Voucher - U-Save is given out over four payments per year. It is one component of the permanent GST Voucher scheme designed to help lower- and middle-income Singapore households with their living expenses.
In October 2014, eligible Singapore households will each receive a GST Voucher - U-Save of up to $65, depending on their HDB flat type.
For example, those who live in one and two-room flats will receive $65, while those in executive flats will receive $45 in vouchers.
Households who own more than one property are not eligible.
In Budget 2014, a one-off GST Voucher - U-Save Special Payment was announced with larger rebates for smaller flats. The first tranche of the Special Payment, which comes on top of the regular GST Voucher - U-Save, was given out in July 2014, and the next tranche of Special Payment will be made in January 2015.
The Regular and Special Payment for the GST Voucher - U-Save provides substantial direct assistance to households. Those living in 1- to 2-room HDB flats can offset about three to four months of utilities bills on average with their regular GST Voucher - U-Save.
Meanwhile, those living in 3- to 4-room HDB flats can offset up to two months of utilities bills on average. In addition, the GST Voucher - U-Save Special Payment annouced in Budget 2014 can offset, on average, another three to four months of utilities bills for those living in 1- to 2- flats, and about one month of utilities bills for those living in 3- to 4-room flats.
