Even 5000 is not enough to offset the increased cost of living I have to bear for my household

Get less because income shd catch up after a few years.

Shd abolish handouts soon.

I think Voucher Wong have to issue CDC vouchers every year to keep the poor Sinkies grateful and keep them voting for PAP, if not these poor people will start to swing to the opposition because voters expect CDC vouchers to be given annually

 

[Nickypigu]

when time comes, GST need to up
will give again

Got increase the amount of CDC vouchers? It is expected. $500 where got enough at least need $5000. Let’s grow the pie and increase income tax rate for foreigners to provide more CDC vouchers for NSF and NSMen. We can also have a remittance tax.

 

[Shion]

so now vouchers n high cost of living r permanent ?

 

[GaoProsper]

of course sustainable. only $500 per year. I pay more GST and taxes year on year.

Post govt made the move to impose gst on online goods purchase, nothing seems to escape GST even for buying cheaper alternatives from Tabao. Its still better for my wallet than supporting local companies which also buy their goods from china.

But to say $500 covers that extra increased in 2% GST is misleading, GST are incurred throughout the supply chain. The total cost passed to end consumer is more than 2%, which today you can experience it buying caipeng (e.g. increased from $3.20 to $380 for 1 meat + 2 veg), your kopitiam kopi, or yakun toast set (now min $6.3 for a set, was $5.80)

They should remove GST for essential items.
