Goods and Services Tax (GST) relief
A 3% Goods and Services Tax (GST) is levied on the sale of all goods imported into Singapore. If you are a visitor, returning citizen or permanent resident of Singapore, you may be granted GST relief under certain conditions.

Tax-free shopping
As a tourist or visitor, you can apply for a refund at Customs of the 3% GST on goods purchased during your stay in Singapore, provided you:
• shop at stores with the ‘Tax Free Shopping’ logo
• spend a minimum amount of S$100 at any one shop, and at least S$300 in total
• obtain a Global Refund Cheque from the place of purchase.

When collecting your refund you have several choices – cash, bank cheque, or Changi Airport Shopping Voucher, which comes with an additional 10% in value.

Please note that a handling fee will be deducted from the GST amount for the refund service.
