880,000 HDB households to get GST Voucher U-Save rebate

Within the month, eligible households will receive up to $95 rebate.

About 880,000 Singaporean HDB households will receive the next installment of the GST Voucher – Utilities-Save (U-Save) rebate in January 2018.

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.

The U-Save rebate is expected to cost $265 million over four quarters, starting from July 2017.

Annually, the permanent GST Voucher – U-Save rebate has enabled households in 1-and 2-room HDB flats to receive support which is equivalent to about 3 to 4 months of their utilities bills on average.

Those living in 3- and 4-room HDB flats receive support equivalent to about 1 to 2 months of their utilities bills.

In January 2018, eligible Singaporean households will each receive a GST Voucher – U-Save of up to $95, depending on their HDB flat type. It is distributed every three months.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
