MOF seeks feedback on Goods and Services Tax Act amendments

The Ministry of Finance plans to amend the introduction of GST on imported low-value goods and non-digital services.

The Ministry of Finance has opened a public consultation on its four proposed amendments to the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Act.

Amongst the changes proposed on the draft GST (Amendment) Bill 2021 involve the introduction of GST on $400-and-below goods imported via air or post, and to business-to-consumer imported non-digital services.

The second proposed amendment has to do with GST for supplies of media sales.

The last two proposed amendments have to do with GST administration and the clarity of existing legislation.

The public can access the public consultation documents, including the draft GST (Amendment) Bill 2021, on the Ministry of Finance's website (www.mof.gov.sg) and the REACH consultation portal (www.reach.gov.sg).

Interested parties are requested to use the prescribed template to submit their comments on the draft GST (Amendment) Bill 2021.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
