Example 2:

Angie orders a shirt for S$40 from an overseas fashion retailer, Company B. The shirt is shipped from Australia and imported into Singapore via post.

As Company B is registered for GST with effect from 1 Jan 2023, Company B will charge Angie with GST on her purchase of the shirt. Company B will be required to pay the GST collected to IRAS.

My item was sent overseas for repair. Will IRAS charge GST? The supplier asked me which one I choose, full refund or they send a new one. I said new one. Die liao. GST might be levied.

RE: mail order stuff below $400 pay GST - growthorvalue - 06-01-2023

ebay charge "10% gst" + high exchange rate charge!

RE: mail order stuff below $400 pay GST - theold - 06-01-2023

With GST, oversea companies will charge additional service costs.

=====
When you go overseas, the custom there will allow a refund of GST. But what you get back can be less than 50% of the value of the GST amount. There will be exchange rate and processing fees.

I didn’t see this GST charge for the Moon swatch I ordered online
this week

Some sites have not yet implemented this tax
They have started or have grace period?

RE: mail order stuff below $400 pay GST - sgbuffett - 07-01-2023

The example below is lagi troublesome. you pay for the goods then you have later make a separate payment to delivery company for GST.

Mark wishes to purchase a pair of sneakers for S$300 from a seller located in the United States (“US”). However, as the US seller does not offer shipping to Singapore, Mark uses the services of a local redeliverer, Company C.

Company C provides Mark with a US forwarding address. When placing an order for the sneakers, Mark instructs the US seller to deliver the goods to the overseas forwarding address. When the goods arrive at the overseas forwarding address, Company C would then arrange to ship the goods to Singapore via air and deliver the goods to Mark.

Assuming Company C is registered for GST with effect from 1 Jan 2023, Company C will charge GST to Mark on his purchase and any shipping and/or administrative fees charged by Company C, as follows:

Sneakers (excluding GST): S$300

Shipping and administrative fees (excluding GST): S$15

Total GST payable: S$25.20

Company C will be required to pay the GST of S$25.20 collected to IRA
