Eligible Singaporeans will receive S$450 or S$850 in cash under the GST Voucher scheme in August 2025.

An individual or household's eligibility for social support schemes in a given year is determined by the preceding year's Annual Value of the individual's residential property.

According to a press release by the Ministry of Finance in November 2024, the government increased the Annual Value threshold across social support schemes, covering more than 1 million residential properties.

Under the new eligibility criteria, Singaporeans aged 21 and above with assessable income of S$34,000 and below, who own zero to one property and whose Annual Value is less than S$21,000, will receive S$850.

Singaporeans aged 21 and above with assessable income of S$34,000 and below, who own up to one property, and whose Annual Value is more than S$21,000 but less than S$31,000, will receive S$450.

In addition, Singaporeans aged 65 and above will receive a S$150 to S$450 top up to their CPF MediSave account in August 2025 under the GST voucher scheme.
