U-Save Rebates for 2010

Some changes were made to the U-Save rebates scheme for 2010. Starting from December last year, it seems that the government is finally trying to make the line clearer between Singapore citizens and non-citizens. They seem to be making incremental changes to their policies as they go along. Elections coming soon?

HDB flats which are fully sublet to non-citizens will no longer be eligible for U-Save rebates. This is similar to HDB flats which are owned by non-citizens, which are currently already not eligible for the rebates. U-Save rebates will continue to be disbursed to Singaporean-owned HDB flats which are owner-occupied or which are sublet to at least one citizen tenant.

The rebates which are used to offset utility charges directly are as follows:

	Jan 2010	Jun 2010
1-Room	$100
2-Room	$100
3-Room	$90	$70
4-Room	$85	$65
5-Room	$50	$40
Executive	$30	$25
