How it works
GST is charged at 9% from 1 January 2024. It was 8% in 2023 and 7% before that. To find the GST inside a GST-inclusive price, multiply by 9/109. To add GST to a net price, multiply by 9%. Only GST-registered businesses may charge GST, and the rate is set by when the supply is made, so invoices that straddle a rate change need care.
Worked example
A GST-inclusive invoice of S$1,090: GST is S$90 (1,090 × 9/109) and the price before GST is S$1,000. A net price of S$2,500 becomes S$2,725 with GST of S$225.
