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

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.
