GST rate

In Singapore, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a value-added tax that is levied on the majority of goods and services, whether they are produced domestically or imported. As of January 2024, the applicable rate is 9%. GST is imposed on businesses that surpass a certain turnover threshold, while some goods, services, and international transactions have specific exemptions. Companies must register for GST and submit regular returns to the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS).
