Total of $720 million in U-Save and S&CC rebates for households in FY2022

About 950,000 Singaporean households living in HDB flats will receive their second quarterly GSTV – U-Save and GSTV – S&CC rebates in July 2022. These rebates are part of the enhanced permanent GST Voucher (GSTV) scheme and Household Support Package (HSP) announced at Budget 2022, and will provide continuing help to defray the GST and other living expenses of lower- to middle-income Singaporean households.

2. Under the enhanced GSTV scheme, eligible households will receive GSTV – S&CC rebates to offset between 1.5 and 3.5 months of their S&CC each year. The rebates are disbursed in April, July, October, and January.

3. In FY2022, eligible households will receive double their regular U-Save. This amounts to about 8 to 10 months’ worth of utility bills for the average household living in 1- and 2-room HDB flats, and about 4 to 6 months’ worth of utility bills for the average household living in 3- and 4-room HDB flats.

4. The GSTV – U-Save and S&CC rebates are in addition to the $100 Household Utilities Credit for all Singaporean households, separately announced on 21 June 2022 under the $1.5 billion Support Package.

5. The GSTV – U-Save rebates that households will receive in FY2022 are summarised in the table below.
