$280m in GST Vouchers to be given out

Eligible Singaporeans who had previously signed up for the Government's GST Voucher scheme will receive an additional payout of up to $200 each by Saturday, said the Ministry of Finance (MOF) yesterday.

A total of $280 million will be disbursed for this cash special payment.

The one-off payout is on top of the regular GST Voucher given out in August, which saw an estimated 1.3 million Singaporeans receive up to $300 in cash each.

It is meant to support households amid the current economic conditions.

No action is required from recipients and the criteria is similar to the regular GST Voucher.
