Programme Objective
 

To achieve parity in GST treatment for all services consumed in Singapore, the Finance Minister announced in Budget 2018 that imported services will be subjected to GST with effect from 1 January 2020 in the following regimes: 
 

  1. Business-to-business (“B2B”) imported services will be taxed by way of a reverse charge mechanism.
  2. Business-to-customers (“B2C”) imported digital services will be taxed through the overseas vendor registration model. Overseas suppliers may need to register for GST and account for GST on the supply of imported digital services. 

From 1 January 2020, consumers and businesses who buy imported services from suppliers based overseas which have no establishments in Singapore will have to pay goods and services tax (GST). GST will be levied on two types of services: business-to-business (B2B), such as marketing services, accounting services and IT services; and business-to-consumers (B2C), including video and music streaming services, apps and online subscription fees.
