The GST InvoiceNow Requirement will soon apply to all GST-registered businesses in Singapore. Announced during the Committee of Supply 2026 by the Ministry of Finance, the initiative will progressively expand until full implementation targeted by 1 April 2031.

‍

Led by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS), this nationwide initiative strengthens tax compliance while accelerating the digitalisation of GST administration.

‍

Under this requirement, GST-registered businesses must send invoice data relating to their GST supplies and purchases to IRAS using InvoiceNow-Ready Solutions via the InvoiceNow network.

‍

Businesses will continue to fulfil their existing GST responsibilities, including filing GST returns and maintaining proper accounting records.

‍

What is the GST InvoiceNow Requirement?

GST-registered businesses are required to submit invoice data to IRAS through the InvoiceNow network.

‍

The submission covers:

• Tax invoices

• Credit notes

• Aggregated cash sales

• Aggregated petty cash purchases

Invoice data includes all invoices or equivalent documents that serve as bills for payment (or adjustments of bills for payment) for supplies and purchases made.

‍

This initiative supports nationwide digitalisation efforts and improves accuracy, efficiency, and compliance in GST reporting.

‍

Roadmap for the GST InvoiceNow Requirement

The implementation will take place in phases, allowing businesses time to prepare and onboard accordingly.
