To ease the burden of rising living expenses in 2025, the Singapore government is introducing stronger support initiatives, including the enhanced CDC Voucher Scheme and the GST Voucher (GSTV) Scheme. As part of the Assurance Package outlined in Budget 2024, every Singaporean household will receive S$300 in digital CDC Vouchers starting January 2025.
The GST Voucher Scheme 2025 remains a critical lifeline, especially for lower- and middle-income groups, offering direct financial support through four key components: Cash payouts, MediSave top-ups, U-Save rebates for utilities, and Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebates for HDB residents. These benefits are designed to help families manage the impact of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) more effectively. With revised eligibility criteria and increased payouts this year, more Singaporeans—especially those in HDB flats and permanent residents—stand to gain. For both individuals and businesses, staying updated on the latest GST Voucher changes is essential to navigating Singapore’s shifting economic landscape in 2025.

What is the GST Voucher Scheme?
Introduced in 2012, the GST Voucher (GSTV) Scheme is a key government initiative designed to ease the impact of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on lower- and middle-income Singaporeans. Since its launch, the scheme has expanded to provide greater support and reach more households.
In 2025, the GSTV Scheme continues to provide meaningful financial assistance through four main components:
- GST Voucher – Cash: A direct cash payout to help cover daily living expenses.
- GST Voucher – MediSave: Annual CPF top-ups to assist seniors with healthcare costs.
- GST Voucher – U-Save: Quarterly rebates to reduce electricity and water bills for eligible HDB homes.
- S&CC Rebate: Rebates to offset service and conservancy charges for HDB residents.
Together, these components aim to reduce everyday financial pressure and ensure a fairer tax system for Singaporeans who need it most.
