SINGAPORE – More than 950,000 Singaporean households in Housing Board flats will receive U-Save and Service and Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebates in July, amid a rise in gas and electricity prices.
The Ministry of Finance (MOF) said in a statement on June 28 that the rebates are the second quarterly disbursement for the 2024 financial year, and are part of the permanent GST Voucher (GSTV) scheme and the Assurance Package, which saw an additional $1.9 billion pumped into it in Budget 2024.
The ministry added that the rebates help those from lower and middle-income households cope with their cost-of-living expenses.
In this round, those living in one-room and two-room HDB flats will receive a total of $285 in U-save rebates.
People living in three-room flats will get $255 in total, while those in four-room flats will get $225. Five-room HDB households will get $195.
