About 840,000 Singaporean HDB households will receive the next instalment of the GST Voucher – Utilities-Save (U-Save) rebates in April 2016.
Annually, those living in 1- and 2-room HDB flats will be able to offset about 3 to 4 months of utilities bills on average with their regular GST Voucher – U-Save. Those living in 3- to 4-room HDB flats can offset about 1 to 2 months of utilities bills on average.
The GST Voucher – U-Save forms one of three components under the permanent GST Voucher scheme, designed to help lower- and middle-income Singaporean households with their living expenses. The U-Save component is distributed every quarter.
In April 2016, eligible Singaporean households will each receive a GST Voucher – U-Save of up to $65, depending on their HDB flat type (see Table below).
