According to a post published by Heng Swee Keat, the government will be disbursing GST voucher to about 940,000 households this month.
Here are the details:
“We will be disbursing GST Voucher (GSTV) – U-Save rebates to about 940,000 eligible HDB households this month. This is the final tranche of rebates for FY2020.”
“GSTV is a permanent scheme to support lower- and middle-income Singaporeans. GSTV has three components – Cash, MediSave and U-Save. This year’s U-Save rebates are higher to better help our households cope during this difficult period. As part of the Care and Support Package announced during #SGBudget2020, eligible households will receive twice the regular amount of U-Save this financial year. Larger households will receive 2.5 times the regular amount.”
I hope the higher payouts can better defray household expenses and will bring some cheer to families as we look forward to a new year.
