PSG for Laptop (Expired)

Government Grant for Laptops

You may now apply for a 80% subsidy for a Laptop!

In the early days of PIC (Productivity & Innovation Credit), laptops were one of the items that could be supported by government subsidies. However this support was ceased after PIC ended. To our delight again today, the subsidy is now back with PSG! However, it is only valid till 31 December 2020.
