Budget 2023: Bulk of revenue hike comes from higher GST collection

Tax collection will grow 1%.

Standard Chartered Bank said it is seeing an increase of revenue for Singapore in fiscal year 2023, with the higher GST collection accounting for most of the growth.

Starting January 1, a 1% rate hike for GST will be imposed along with personal and corporate income taxes as stated from the budget.

There were also adjustments for the tax system, with higher stamp duty rates for high-value properties, increased vehicle tax rates for luxury cars, and a 15% increase in tobacco excise duty.

These changes will generate additional revenue but may dampen demand and soften headline inflation.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
