SINGAPORE: Around 880,000 Singaporean households living in HDB flats can expect to receive S$120 million worth of service and conservancy charges (S&CC) rebates in the 2017 financial year, the Ministry of Finance said on Thursday (Mar 30).
The S&CC rebate was announced during Budget 2017 to provide additional support to households.
In total, each eligible Singaporean household will receive 1.5 to 3.5 months of S&CC rebate, depending on their HDB flat type. Eligible households will receive a letter from end-March with more details of the rebate, the ministry said.
The rebate will be disbursed over the months of April, July, October this year and January next year as follows:
The rebate will be used to offset a household’s S&CC payment directly. For households who pay their S&CC through GIRO, their town councils will make the necessary arrangements with their banks, the ministry said.
