Goods & Services Tax (GST)
A 7% GST is levied in Singapore. As a foreign visitor, you are entitled to claim back the GST that you pay on your purchases when you take them home. GST refund is not applicable for land and cruise departures. Under the Global Refund GST Scheme, visit any store that displays the "TAX FREE SHOPPING" logo and follow these simple steps: -
- Simply spend a minimum of SGD100 at any Global Refund affiliated retailer.
- Present your passport to the retailer to obtain a completed Global Refund Cheque.
- Claim your GST cash refund at the Wisma Atria Downtown Cash Refund Service Counter (level 1). A small handling fee will be deducted from the GST amount due to you.
- Get the Cheques validated at the Singapore Customs counter at Changi Airport Terminal 1 or 2 as proof of export. The goods purchased, along with the receipts and Global Refund Cheques must be presented for verification.
