The GST Voucher scheme is designed to help Singaporean households with their living expenses.

To help lower- and middle-income Singaporeans with their utilities bills, over 840,000 households will each receive GST Voucher – U-Save rebates of up to $65 this month, depending on their HDB flat type, said the Ministry of Finance (MOF).

Those living in 1- and 2-room HDB flats are able to offset three to four months of utilities bills on average, while those living in 3- and 4-room HDB flats are able to offset about one to two months of utilities bills on average.

The GST Voucher – U-Save forms one of three components under the GST Voucher scheme. The U-Save component is distributed every quarter.
