SINGAPORE — Singaporeans who are eligible for the GST Voucher — Cash and GST Voucher — Medisave but have yet to sign up for it are reminded to do so by Dec 31, the Finance Ministry said yesterday.

Those eligible would have received reminder letters from the Government from Nov 29. They can sign up either online at the GST Voucher website, www.gstvoucher.gov.sg, or by completing the GST Voucher sign-up form. Copies of the form can be obtained at community centres, the Community Development Council and all Central Provident Fund (CPF) Service Centres. All forms should reach the CPF Board before Dec 31. No sign-up is required for the GST Voucher — U-Save.

The GST Voucher scheme was introduced as a permanent government transfer in Budget last year, to help lower- and middle-income households with their expenses, in particular when it comes to GST. It is paid in three components: Cash, Medisave and U-Save.

As at end-October, the Government has disbursed some S$652 million in GST Voucher — Cash, and about S$210 million in GST Voucher — Medisave. Some 800,000 HDB households would have also automatically received GST Voucher — U-Save payouts which totalled S$45 million in October. CHANNEL NEWSASIA
