To cushion the impact of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on low- and middle-income households, the Singapore government continues its long-standing GST Voucher (GSTV) scheme in 2025. As part of Singapore’s progressive tax and transfer system, the GST Vouchers are designed to ensure that lower-income Singaporeans are not disproportionately affected by GST increases.

In June 2025, eligible Singapore citizens will benefit from the latest round of GST Vouchers, including cash payouts, MediSave top-ups, and rebates on utilities and service & conservancy charges (S&CC). These measures form a core part of the government’s broader Assurance Package and social support initiatives aimed at addressing the rising cost of living, particularly among seniors and lower-income groups.

Summary Table: 🇸🇬 Singapore GST Vouchers

What Are GST Vouchers?

The GST Voucher scheme is a permanent measure introduced by Budget 2012 to help lower- and middle-income Singaporean households offset the impact of GST. It comprises four components:

1. GSTV – Cash: A one-off cash payment in August.
2. GSTV – MediSave: Healthcare top-ups for seniors in August.
3. GSTV – U‑Save: Quarterly utility rebates credited via SP Services.
4. GSTV – S&CC Rebate: Quarterly credits offsetting HDB service & conservancy charges (S&CC).

These vouchers support affordability amid rising cost-of-living and tax increases.
