U-Save Rebate - Just Another Way for You to Save!

Just last year, energy experts put out a warning of sorts, informing Singaporeans that their energy bills will see an increase as staying indoors becomes the norm amidst the circuit breaker measures. This followed after research by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) showed that average daily household electricity consumption increased a whopping average of 22% in May 2020, compared to February 2020.

With more people relying on energy-consuming electronics and appliances like air-conditioners, computers, television sets, and more, even the most frugal of households were on the receiving end of bill shocks, and that does seem to be changing any time soon - especially with the rising electricity tariff rates.

Understanding the U-Save Rebates

The U-save rebate is designed to help households with their utility bills. Ranging from $235 to $395, 2021 will see more rebates due to the additional one-off U-Save Special Payments that will equally be paid over in April 2021 and July 2021. Directly credited into your HDB flat’s utility account and rolled over to the following months, there is no need for sign-ups or special requests to be made to prevent lapses.

1. Eligibility Criteria

So, what are the eligibility criteria for the GST Voucher – U-Save? For one, family members living in the same household should not have other properties under their name. Beyond this, there are a few other conditions to meet:

• If the HDB property is registered under your name, there must minimally be 1 Singapore citizen occupying it.
• If your HDB property is partially sublet, there must be at least 1 Singapore citizen occupying or owning it.
• If the HDB property is fully sublet to you, there must minimally be 1 Singapore citizen residing in the flat.
• The owner of the HDB flat must open a utility account opened under the respective electricity provider in Singapore by the 15th of the month before the rebate is credited (For example: A utility account should be opened with Senoko Energy by the 15th of June to be eligible for the rebate given out in July)

For more information on the eligibility criteria, you can visit the official GST Voucher – U-Save website.

3. When Will the Rebate be Given Out?

The rebate is split over the course of a year, and given out on a quarterly basis – January, April, July, and October. The January pay-out will be given in 2022.
