Proposal to Use Excess U-Save Rebates to Offset Service and Conservancy Charges

1 Mr Edward Chia Bing Hui asked the Prime Minister and Minister for Finance whether households with continual low utilities usage and accumulating unused U-Save rebates may be allowed the flexibility to use the excess rebates to offset their Service and Conservancy Charges (S&CC).

Mr Lawrence Wong: U-Save rebates are intended to offset households' utilities expenses only. U-Save rebates have no expiry date, and unused rebates can be rolled over to offset households' future utilities expenses.

For Service and Conservancy Charges (S&CC), eligible households will receive the Goods & Services Tax Voucher – S&CC Rebate, which offsets between 1.5 and 3.5 months of S&CC in Financial Year 2025.
