Singapore is preparing for the final GST Voucher payout in December 2025, offering financial support to eligible citizens just in time for year-end expenses. This payout is part of the permanent GST Voucher scheme aimed at helping lower- to middle-income households manage the cost-of-living pressures. With the payout date fast approaching, many Singaporeans are eager to know if they qualify and what the exact benefits are. This article will explain the eligibility criteria, payment amounts, and other key details so you don’t miss out on this final round of support.
Final GST Voucher December 2025 Eligibility Explained
To qualify for the GST Voucher payout in December 2025, Singaporeans must meet certain income and property ownership requirements. Generally, you must be a Singapore citizen aged 21 and above, living in a property with annual value below $21,000, and not own more than one property. Your Assessable Income for the Year of Assessment 2024 must also be $34,000 or less. These conditions ensure the benefit reaches citizens who genuinely need help with daily expenses due to the GST hike.
