900,000 HDB households to receive S$126m in S&CC rebates

SINGAPORE ― Around 900,000 Singaporean HDB households can expect to receive S$126 million worth of Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebates for the Financial Year 2018 (April 2018 – March 2019), as part of the additional support for households announced during Budget 2018.

In total, each eligible Singaporean household will receive 1.5 to 3.5 months of S&CC rebate, depending on their HDB flat type (see table below), said the Ministry of Finance (MOF) in a media release on Wednesday (March 28). Eligible households will receive a letter from end-March with more details of the S&CC rebate, MOF added.

The extra financial support comes following last month’s announcement by the 15 town councils run by the People’s Action Party that they would be raising the S&CC by S$1 to S$17 per month by June next year.

The rebate will be used to offset a household’s S&CC payment directly. For households who pay their S&CC through Giro, their town councils will make the necessary arrangements with their banks..
