A permanent government scheme that helps lower- and middle-income Singaporeans offset the cost of GST. It comes in components such as cash payouts, MediSave top-ups for the elderly, U-Save rebates on utility bills, and Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebates, with eligibility based on income, property value, and age.
Example: An eligible retiree living in a smaller flat may receive both a GSTV cash payout and a MediSave top-up each year. Payout amounts and eligibility should be verified against the official GSTV scheme.
The GST Voucher is a permanent scheme that helps lower- and middle-income Singaporeans offset Goods and Services Tax. It has up to four parts: GSTV-Cash, GSTV-MediSave, GSTV-U-Save utility rebates, and Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebates for eligible HDB households.
You generally need to be a Singapore Citizen aged 21 or above, with assessable income of S$34,000 or below and a home with an Annual Value within the scheme's limits. In 2026 the payout is up to S$850 where the Annual Value is S$21,000 or below, with a lower amount for AVs above that.
GSTV-MediSave is a top-up credited to the CPF MediSave Account of eligible Singapore Citizens aged 65 and above. The amount rises with age, ranging from S$150 for those aged 65 to 74 up to S$450 for those aged 85 and above, subject to Annual Value and property-ownership conditions.
Most eligible Singaporeans do not need to apply once they have signed up before; payouts are made automatically, fastest via PayNow linked to NRIC, otherwise by bank transfer or GovCash. First-time recipients may need a one-time sign-up at the official govbenefits portal.
