As Singapore progresses through its 9% GST rate era, the government is continuing its efforts to support citizens through the GST Voucher (GSTV) Scheme. The April 2025 update is vital for anyone expecting payouts in the coming months, with key actions needed to confirm eligibility and avoid delays.
Seniors and lower-income households are especially encouraged to verify their information now, as April is the final window for updating PayNow, tax, and property data.
Who Qualifies for the GST Voucher in 2025
Eligibility is determined automatically using official records from the CPF Board, IRAS, and HDB. If you meet all the conditions below, you may be eligible for either the GST Voucher – Cash or MediSave top-up:
| Criteria | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Age | At least 21 years old in 2025 |
| Citizenship | Must be a Singaporean citizen |
| Income (YA 2023) | ≤ S$34,000 in assessable income |
| Property Ownership | Must own no more than one property |
| Annual Property Value (AV, 2024) | ≤ S$25,000 by Dec 31, 2024 |
Those who don’t meet PayNow or CPF banking requirements risk delayed or redirected payouts through GovCash.
How Much Will You Receive from the GST Voucher in 2025
There are two components to the GST Voucher scheme — Cash and MediSave — depending on your age and financial situation.
GST Voucher – Cash (Aged 21 and Above)
| Income (YA 2023) | Property AV | Cash Payout |
|---|---|---|
| ≤ S$34,000 | ≤ S$21,000 | S$850 |
| ≤ S$34,000 | S$21,001 – S$25,000 | S$450 |
GST Voucher – MediSave (For Seniors Aged 65 and Above)
| Age Group (2025) | AV ≤ S$21,000 | AV S$21,001–S$25,000 |
|---|---|---|
| 65–74 years | S$250 | S$150 |
| 75–84 years | S$350 | S$250 |
| 85+ years | S$450 | S$350 |
MediSave payouts will be credited directly into CPF MediSave accounts. All cash payouts will be disbursed via PayNow NRIC-linked accounts.
