GST Voucher 2022: Everything You Need To Know Plus The Amount You'll Get

[The_King]

Eligible Singaporeans will receive up to S$700 worth of vouchers this December from the Singapore government to offset the upcoming GST hike and rising costs of living. The vouchers payable in December would come in two parts – the Assurance Package Vouchers and the Cost of Living (COL) vouchers. This would be the first round of GST vouchers that Singaporeans will receive in the coming months.

Here's everything you need to know, simplified for you.
 

Vouchers To Be Paid Out In December 2022

Assurance Package Vouchers

In Budget 2020, the Singapore government announced a S$6 billion Assurance Package (AP) to cushion the effects of the upcoming increase in GST.

They have since enhanced the package with an additional S$640 million worth of vouchers, which would be distributed to about 2.8 million adult Singaporeans. The payouts will be distributed over 5 years, with the first payment being dispersed in December 2022.
 

Cost of Living Special Payment

In October 2022, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Lawrence Wong announced a S$1.5 billion support package to provide aid to Singaporeans for rising inflation. This package is specifically targeted at helping lower- to middle-income groups. About 2.5 million Singaporeans will benefit from the Cost-of-Living (COL) Vouchers and it will be paided out together with the AP Vouchers.
