About this market

Market context

Indirect Tax in Singapore primarily refers to Goods and Services Tax (GST), a broad-based consumption tax levied on the import of goods, and nearly all supplies of goods and services within Singapore. It is ultimately borne by the end consumer but collected by GST-registered businesses.

Singapore's GST system is administered by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS). The standard GST rate is currently 9% (effective January 1, 2024), having increased from 8% on January 1, 2023. Businesses with an annual taxable turnover exceeding S$1 million are generally required to register for GST. Key compliance requirements include quarterly (or monthly/half-yearly, depending on turnover) GST filings (Form 5) and maintaining proper tax records for five years.
