$1300 Singapore Government Payment Set For July 2025 – Who’s Eligible & When You’ll Receive It

Singaporeans can soon expect a confirmed $1,300 cash payout in July 2025, combining the Assurance Package (AP) and GST Voucher — Cash (GSTV‑Cash).

Announced as part of Budget 2025, this one‑off support helps over 1.5 million eligible citizens offset rising costs. Here’s everything you need to know to take full advantage of this timely relief.

What’s the $1,300 Payment Made Of?

This payout comprises two major components aimed at assisting lower- to middle‑income households:

Component	Maximum Amount
Assurance Package (AP) Cash	Up to $600
GST Voucher – Cash	Up to $700
Total Combined Payout	$1,300

AP Cash ranges from $100 to $600, depending on assessable income and property ownership
GSTV–Cash provides up to $850, with figures varying based on annual value (AV) of residence and income level

Who Qualifies for the $1,300 Cash Payout?

To receive the full amount, individuals must meet four main criteria:

Citizenship & Age
- Must be a Singaporean citizen; aged 21 or older in 2025
Annual Income
- Assessable Income (AI) for Year of Assessment (YA) 2024 must be $34,000 or less
Property Ownership & Annual Value (AV)
- Must own no more than one property.
- For full GSTV‑Cash, AV must be ≤ $31,000 as of December 2024

If your income, AV, or property count exceeds the thresholds, you may still receive partial payouts (e.g., AP of $350 and GSTV‑Cash of $450).
