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.
