Rikvin, Singapore’s leading corporate solution provider assists entrepreneurs in
Singapore GST Service registration. GST is a tax charged on the supply of goods and
services made in Singapore and on the importation of goods into Singapore. The
current rate for GST is 7%.
According to Rikvin, “The concept of Goods and Services Tax (GST) is patterned from
Valued Added Tax (VAT) in other countries and is a new form of tax in Singapore.
GST was implemented on 1st April 1994 in Singapore. The standard of GST Act is also
patterned from the UK VAT legislation and New Zealand GST legislation. The Inland
Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) is a government agency that administers,
assesses, collects and enforces payment of GST.”
The goal of GST is to effect a lower personal and corporate income tax rates while
maintaining a fairly reasonable revenue base for the government.
