Downgraded your house? Check your GST credits/Growth Dividend

[Boyboy]

gahmen owes my wife and i $550

 

Might be an honest mistake, so I'll go call them up to check. Basically, we are supposed to get $1.3k combined in GST credit + growth dividend, but we only got $750.

 

recently, we got a flyer in the mail which shows how growth dividend (GD) and GST credit (GC) are allocated. we realised that we are allocated according to our former residences.

 

now, we bought a flat and got married last year. we moved in early sept, and my wife changed her address last year, before we moved to our 3-room flat.

 

i being a lazy bugger, and due to special circumstances, cannot change anyhow at NPP. so i did it this year.

 

if they didn't know that i moved, fair enuff. but they didn't register my wife's new address. how strange, considering that they sent BOTH our GC+GD letter to our current address.

 

btw, we are all allocated GC+GD based on our "Annual value of home as at 31 Dec 2007", according to the official flyer.

 

THis is a caution to all who downgraded to check that they have not been shortchanged. for upgraders, u probably didn't stand to profit. if you did, i'm sure they will claim it back from you in the coming months, so you have been warned
