In June 2025, Singapore continues its commitment to supporting lower- and middle-income households through the GST Voucher (GSTV) scheme.
This initiative is part of the government’s long-term plan to cushion the impact of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and offer direct financial aid to eligible citizens.
The GSTV payout structure includes four major components: Cash, MediSave, U-Save, and S&CC Rebate. Let’s dive into who qualifies, how much they can expect, and how the payments are disbursed.
What is the GST Voucher Scheme?
The GST Voucher scheme helps offset daily living expenses, healthcare needs, and utility costs. It is distributed to eligible Singaporeans through four components:
- GSTV – Cash: Direct cash payout to eligible individuals.
- GSTV – MediSave: Top-ups to CPF MediSave accounts for seniors.
- GSTV – U-Save: Rebates on utility bills for HDB households.
- GSTV – S&CC Rebate: Assistance with Service & Conservancy Charges for HDB households.
