This is “to offer residents more choices to meet their needs”.
The statement added that more details will be available in due course.
Households may donate remaining vouchers
If you’ve yet to finish using your remaining CDC vouchers which expire on 31 Dec 2022, you may opt to donate them from now till 31 Jan 2023.
Here’s how to do it:
- Visit the CDC Vouchers Scheme website
- View and select the charity you wish to support
- Log in via Singpass
- Pledge the entire balance of CDC vouchers as of 31 Dec to the selected charity
There’s also a step-by-step video guide on how you can donate your vouchers.
The CDC explained that they decided to give Singaporeans more flexibility in spending their vouchers through donations after some households gave feedback that they’d like to share the balance amount with those who might need it more.
Do note that the vouchers will be donated in cash value.
Tax deduction may also be provided by the charity depending on its policy on issuance of tax deduction. This will be reflected in the donor’s Year of Assessment 2024.
