The Singapore GST Voucher (GSTV) Scheme was introduced to help lower- and middle-income Singaporeans cope with the Goods and Services Tax (GST). In 2025, the government continues this initiative, providing cash payments, utility rebates, and MediSave top-ups to eligible citizens.
This article covers everything you need to know about the GST Voucher Payment 2025, including eligibility terms, payout amounts, and expected payment dates.
What is the Singapore GST Voucher (GSTV) Payment?
The GST Voucher (GSTV) Scheme is part of the government’s measures to help Singaporeans offset their GST expenses, particularly for lower-income groups. It consists of three key components: Cash, U-Save (utility rebates), and MediSave (CPF top-ups for seniors).
Who is Eligible for the Singapore GST Voucher Payment in 2025?
Eligibility for the GSTV Cash payment is based on age, income, and property ownership. To qualify, an applicant must be at least 21 years old in 2025, a Singapore citizen, and earn an annual assessable income (AI) of S$34,000 or below. The applicant should also not own more than one property.
For GSTV – U-Save, eligibility is based on HDB flat type, with smaller flats receiving higher rebates. Households must not own multiple properties.
For GSTV – MediSave, the applicant must be aged 65 and above and have a CPF MediSave account to receive the top-up.
How Much is the GST Voucher Payment in 2025?
1. GST Voucher – Cash
The amount depends on housing type and income. Individuals living in 1- and 2-room flats may receive up to S$950, while those in 5-room flats or private housing may receive S$250 – S$350.
2. GST Voucher – U-Save
HDB households receive quarterly rebates on their utility bills. Those in 1- and 2-room flats can receive up to S$500 per year, while larger households in executive flats may receive around S$200 – S$300 per year.
3. GST Voucher – MediSave
Senior citizens aged 65 and above receive MediSave top-ups ranging from S$250 to S$600, depending on their age. Those 85 years and above receive the highest amount.
When Will Singaporeans Receive the GST Voucher in 2025?

How to Check If You Qualify for GST Voucher 2025?
Singaporeans can check their eligibility on the official GST Voucher website at www.gstvoucher.gov.sg. They can also log in with Singpass on the MyGov portal or check their CPF statements for MediSave top-ups. Eligible recipients will be notified via SMS or email before the payout date.
How to Receive the GST Voucher Payment?
GSTV Cash is credited directly to bank accounts via PayNow-NRIC or linked DBS/POSB, OCBC, UOB, and other major banks. The U-Save rebates are automatically deducted from utility bills, and MediSave top-ups are credited to CPF accounts for healthcare expenses.
To ensure smooth payment, recipients should link their PayNow-NRIC with their bank accounts before the payout date.
