FAQ

Why do you charge GST ? Can you waived that off ?

GST is compulsory on all sales of goods and services in Singapore for All Businesses in Singapore that does more than $1 million of business yearly. For smaller businesses that doesn’t have much turnover, GST is not compulsory. That’s the reason why there are small businesses that doesn’t charge GST. The GST are paid to IRAS, and not to us. We would be unable to waive that off as it is a statuary requirement. However, if you are also a GST registered company, you would be able to claim the 7% GST paid to IRAS as your input tax. This means that purchasing from a GST registered business compared to a non-GST registered business is equivalent to an additional 7% discount if the amount paid is the same !
