- Singapore’s GST rules for remote services apply to both digital and non-digital services, regardless of the consumer’s location.
- Remote services are defined as those delivered without the consumer being physically present, including digital content, online subscriptions, software, cloud services, online professional and personal services, and distance learning.
- Only GST-registered overseas providers can charge GST to Singapore consumers, who can verify registration status online.
- Consumers must provide accurate information to service providers; providing false information to evade GST can result in severe penalties, including fines and imprisonment.
- The IRAS emphasizes consumer education to ensure compliance and transparency in GST application for both local and overseas services.
