- A tax invoice (or customer accounting tax invoice) is the key support document for input tax claims, and invoice/receipt records must be kept for at least 5 years.
- GST-registered businesses must transmit invoice data to IRAS using InvoiceNow-Ready Solutions, with mandatory participation to be rolled out in phases.
- Tax invoices must be issued to GST-registered customers for standard-rated supplies within 30 days of time of supply; they are not required for non-GST-registered customers, zero-rated, exempt, or deemed supplies.
- Tax invoices must clearly show all required information on one document, including the GST registration number; missing/incomplete details may prevent the customer from claiming input tax.
- For multiple standard-rated items, GST may be calculated either item-by-item or on the subtotal, with possible rounding differences.
