Documents Required for GST Registration in Singapore

General requirements for all registrations

Regardless of the registration type, IRAS requires the following information:

• Legal business name

• Registered business address

• Business activity description (nature of goods or services supplied)

• Contact details (authorized representative's name, email, and phone number)

• Estimated annual taxable turnover

• Reason for registration (mandatory or voluntary)

Standard GST Registration (Resident Businesses)

For businesses with a physical presence in Singapore, the registration is submitted via the myTax Portal using your Corppass account. You will typically need:

• Your Unique Entity Number (UEN) assigned by ACRA

• Business registration documents (e.g., ACRA business profile)

• Financial statements or revenue records to support your turnover claim

• Details of your business activities and the types of taxable supplies made

• Bank account details (Singapore-based account required for GST payments)

OVR Registration (Non-Resident / Overseas Vendors)

For overseas businesses registering under the OVR simplified regime, registration is also completed through the myTax Portal. You will typically need:

• Your overseas business registration number and country of incorporation

• Certificate of incorporation or equivalent business registration document from your home country

• Description of the remote services or low-value goods you supply to Singapore customers

• Evidence of Singapore B2C revenue (e.g., revenue breakdown showing supplies to Singapore consumers)

• Evidence of global turnover exceeding SGD 1,000,000

• Authorized representative details (a local agent in Singapore is required for OVR registration)

Local agent requirement: Non-resident OVR registrants must appoint a local Singapore agent to liaise with IRAS. This is a regulatory requirement and cannot be waived.
