If you’ve been feeling the pinch of higher living costs lately, you’re not alone. The Singapore Government knows that everyday essentials — from utilities to groceries — have become more expensive. That’s why the Singapore GST Voucher 2025 has been refreshed to give stronger support where it’s needed most.
Think of it as the government’s way of saying: “We’ve got your back.” The scheme now reaches more households and offers bigger payouts through GSTV Cash, U-Save, MediSave, and S&CC Rebates — all designed to help Singaporeans manage daily expenses and healthcare costs.
What’s New in GST Voucher 2025?
Here’s the thing — the annual income and property value limits have been raised, so more Singaporeans now qualify.
- Income threshold: Increased from $34,000 to $39,000 (for the Year of Assessment 2024).
- Annual Value (AV) tiers:
- Tier 1: Up to $20,000
- Tier 2: $21,001 to $31,000
This adjustment means many middle-income families, especially those in HDB flats, will now enjoy additional support.
Key Components of the GST Voucher Scheme
GSTV Cash – Up to $850
In August 2025, around 1.5 million adult Singaporeans will receive cash payouts directly through PayNow-NRIC or GIRO.
- If your home’s AV is ≤ $21,000, you’ll get $850.
- If your AV is $21,001–$31,000, you’ll receive $450.
Make sure your NRIC is linked to PayNow by 27 July 2025 to get your money early.
U-Save – Quarterly Utility Rebates
For HDB households, rebates range from $55 to $95 per quarter, depending on flat type. Payments arrive every January, April, July, and October.
MediSave – Healthcare Support for Seniors
About 690,000 seniors will receive $150 to $450 directly into their CPF MediSave accounts. Seniors aged 85 and above will receive the highest amount.
S&CC Rebates
Eligible HDB households will get 2 to 4 months of service and conservancy rebates, plus an extra 0.5 month in January 2025 to ease early-year expenses.

When combined, these initiatives form a strong safety net — proof that the system continues to evolve with Singaporeans’ needs.

These changes aren’t just numbers on a spreadsheet — they make a real difference to families budgeting month to month. Whether it’s covering an electricity bill or easing healthcare costs, the Singapore GST Voucher 2025 ensures that no one is left behind.
