Over 950,000 Singaporean households living in HDB flats can look forward to some financial relief in October. They will be receiving rebates on both their U-Save (utility bills) and Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) as part of the government’s financial support program.

In this article

  • Increased U-Save for 2024

  • S&CC Rebates too

  • No Action Needed, Automatic Credits

This initiative is designed to ease the burden of the recent rise in Goods and Services Tax (GST) and living expenses, particularly for lower and middle-income households. The rebates are distributed quarterly, and October marks the third disbursement for the 2024 financial year.

This year offers a special boost! As announced in Budget 2024, there’s an additional U-Save to help manage the rise in utility costs.

Depending on your HDB flat type, you can receive up to S$190 in October. Eligible households will get 2.5 times the regular U-Save amount, which can add up to S$950 for FY2024. This translates to covering around 8 months of utility bills for those living in 1- and 2-room flats, and about 4 months for 3- and 4-room flats.

The good news is, you don’t have to do anything to claim these rebates! The U-Save will be automatically credited to your SP Services utilities account. The S&CC rebates will be reflected in your S&CC account managed by your Town Council.

You can find general information on the government benefits website.

    President-elect Donald Trump is considering eliminating the EV tax credit from Biden's Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which currently allows purchasers of electric vehicles in 2023 and later to qualify for a tax write-off up to $7,500. Simultaneously, the incoming Trump administration is reportedly looking to push through a regulatory framework on full self-driving autonomous vehicles. Zero Emission Transportation Policy executive director Albert Gore III joins Catalysts to discuss the potential implications. "Ultimately, these policies are working to lower costs for consumers and bring jobs to the United States," Gore tells Yahoo Finance and eliminating these policies could threaten that balance. Despite the potential changes, Gore is confident that the Trump administration wants to prioritize domestic job creation: "I think we need to have a strong demand signal that sends the message all the way up through the supply chains that they need to invest in the United States."
