Good news: Lower cost for health and motor

In the budget statement, the Minister of Finance announced that insurance companies can recover the GST on payments for repairs for passenger cars and health care bills.

This will mean that the cost of health and motor insurance will reduced by 3% to 4%.

This request for recovery of GST was submitted by NTUC Income. Anyway, all policyholders will benefit from this change in GST, regardless of who they insure with.

NTUC Income has already reduced our motor premiums by 5% from 1 January 2006. For health insurance, we will not increase the premium for 2006 and 2007, in spite of rising bills.

The saving in cost will help us to delay any future increase in premium for a longer period.
