Singapore’s 60th birthday is just around the corner, and to celebrate this milestone, the government has announced a slew of goodies for its citizens.
From vouchers to tax rebates, and from cultural passes to sports credits, there’s something for everyone in Budget 2025.
So here are the top Government Benefits you can claim in 2025!
The SG60 vouchers are a significant announcement in Budget 2025, with Singaporeans aged 21 and above set to receive $600, while those aged 60 and above will get $800.
These vouchers can be redeemed at heartland merchants, hawkers, and supermarkets that are part of the scheme. With the vouchers expiring on December 31, 2026, citizens are encouraged to claim them as soon as possible.
Vouchers are a great way to support local businesses, and seniors, in particular, will appreciate the extra cash. It’s a small but thoughtful gesture that shows the government cares about its citizens.
You could use such vouchers to purchase furniture to create a new look for your home in 2025!
Middle-income workers are set to benefit from a 60% rebate on their taxable income, capped at $200 per taxpayer.
This is a much-needed relief for those who are struggling to make ends meet. With the rebate automatically computed and granted by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore, citizens don’t need to do anything except wait for their next tax bill.
It’s a subtle but significant move that shows the government is committed to supporting its citizens.
Singaporean babies born in 2025 are in for a treat, with a special gift package awaiting them.
While details are scarce, it’s clear that the government wants to make a big splash for its youngest citizens. More information is expected to be shared in early March, so stay tuned!
Hawker centers and market stallholders under government and government-appointed operators are set to receive a one-off rental support of $600.
This is a well-deserved recognition of the role that hawker centres and markets play in Singapore’s national identity and heritage. Stallholders will get details from the relevant government agencies, so it’s a good idea to stay in touch.
The SG Culture Pass is a fantastic initiative that aims to foster national pride and identity among Singaporeans. With $100 in credits to be used to buy tickets for eligible local performances, exhibitions, and experiences, citizens are encouraged to explore their cultural heritage.
Do note that the credits will be valid from September 1, 2025, to December 31, 2028, so there’s plenty of time to plan ahead!
Singapore citizens and permanent residents who sign up as ActiveSG members are in for a treat, with a one-off $100 ActiveSG credit top-up to encourage sports participation.
Existing members will get $100 more, while new members will get $200 in credits upon signing up. This is a great way to stay active and healthy, and with the credits valid from June, it’s time to get moving!
The government is committed to encouraging philanthropy, with a new SG Gives matching grant that will match every dollar donation made in 2025 to eligible social and community programmes.
There’s also a $100 million top-up to the Cultural Matching Fund, which aims to encourage cultural philanthropy. Additionally, there’s a $270 million top-up to the Tote Board’s enhanced fund-raising programme, which supports local charitable causes.
It’s heartening to see the government taking steps to encourage giving back to the community.
Self-help groups such as the Chinese Development Assistance Council, Yayasan Mendaki, the Singapore Indian Development Association, and the Eurasian Association are set to receive an additional $60 million in grants over five years.
This is a significant boost to their programmes and will enable them to better support their communities.
It’s clear that the government is committed to supporting its citizens, and these grants will go a long way in making a positive impact.
Budget 2025 is a celebration of Singapore’s 60th birthday, and the government has gone all out to make it a special year for its citizens.
From vouchers to tax rebates, and from cultural passes to sports credits, there’s something for everyone. So let’s make the most of these goodies and celebrate this milestone in style! 🎉
