SINGAPORE - More than 950,000 Singaporean households in Housing Board flats will receive U-Save and service and conservancy charges rebates in October.
The rebates will help those from lower- and middle-income households cope with goods and services tax and cost-of-living expenses, said MOF. In this round, those living in one-room and two-room HDB flats will get a total of $190 in U-save rebates. No action is needed to claim the rebates, said MOF, with the U-Save rebates credited directly into households’ utilities accounts with SP Services.A portion of the rebates was to “cushion the impact of higher utility bills from increases in carbon tax and water prices”, added MOF.electricity tariffs will go down for the next three months
