Singapore
Digital/electronic services
If you’re a non-resident business selling digital/electronic services to consumers in Singapore, you will have an obligation to GST register if, within a 12-month period, your business:
-
Exceeds a global turnover threshold of S$1 million (approx. £586,000); and
-
Makes supplies to non-GST registered customers within Singapore at a value over S$100,000 (approx. £59,000).
These digital/electronic services include streaming games, music, apps, films, e-books, e-journals, and internet services.
Low-value goods and non-digital services
If you’re a non-resident business selling low-value goods and non-digital services to consumers in Singapore, you may be required to GST register from January 2023.
From this date, non-resident vendors importing and selling low-value goods up to a value of S$400 (approx. £235) will be required to register and charge GST at 8% to consumers. Like digital/electronic services, this is subject to exceeding a global turnover threshold of S$1 million (approx. £586,000) and making supplies to non-GST registered customers within Singapore at a value over S$100,000 (approx. £59,000).
