It is distributed every quarter and expected to cost $190 million annually.
MOF said, in January 2017 eligible Singaporean households will each receive a GST Voucher – U-Save of up to $65 – the same rebate given previously on July and October last year -, depending on their HDB flat type (see Table below).
