More than 800,000 Singaporean HDB households will receive GST Voucher – U-Save rebates this month, revealed the Ministry of Finance.

Eligible households will receive a GST Vocuher – U-Save of up to $65, depending on their flat type.

Those living in 1- to 2-room flats will be able to offset about three to four months of utilities bills on average, while 3- to 4-room households can offset about one to two months of utilities bills on average.

The rebates are distributed every quarter and form a component of the permanent GST Voucher scheme, designed to help lower- and middle-income Singaporean households with their living expenses.
