In a news release on Wednesday (Mar 27), the Ministry of Finance (MOF) said that in total, each eligible household will receive 1.5 to 3.5 months of S&CC rebate, depending on flat type.
The rebate was announced during Budget 2019, and is intended to help households with expenses.

Eligible households will receive a letter from the end of March with more details.
The S&CC rebate has been paid out annually by the Government since 2013, and is 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 arrangement with their banks.
