900,000 HDB owners to get Service & Conservancy Charges rebates worth $126m

Each eligible household will receive 1.5 to 3.5 months of rebates starting April.

Around 900,000 Singaporean HDB households can expect to receive $126m worth of Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebates starting April 2018 up to March 2019, the Ministry of Finance (MOF) said. 

According to an announcement, the S&CC rebate was announced during Budget 2018 to provide additional support to households. In total, each eligible Singaporean household will receive 1.5 to 3.5 months of S&CC rebate, depending on their HDB flat type.

Eligible households will receive a letter starting end-March with more details of the S&CC rebate. The rebate will be disbursed over the months of April 2018, July 2018, October 2018 and January 2019.

Owners of HDB 1 to 2 rooms will receive 3.5 months total of rebates. Those that own HDB 3 and 4 rooms will receive 2.5 months of rebates, whilst those that own HDB 5 flats will get 2 months of rebates. Owners of executive/multi-generation flats will get rebates worth 1.5 months.

MOF noted that the S&CC rebate will be used to offset a household’s S&CC payment directly. “For households who pay their S&CC through GIRO, their Town Councils will make the necessary arrangement with their banks,” it said.

For enquiries on their S&CC payment and account status, residents can contact their respective Town Councils.

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.
