Net refund and purchase-amount bands
- Standard GST is 9%. GST within a tax-inclusive price is 9/109, about 8.2569%; the actual refund generally has service fees deducted.
- Spend at least SGD 100 including GST at participating retailers. Up to three same-day receipts from the same GST-registered retailer at the same shop may be combined under the scheme’s rules.
- You must be at least 16 and neither a Singapore citizen nor a permanent resident. Check work/student-pass and other exclusions; a foreign passport alone does not establish eligibility.
- Carry the goods out through Changi or Seletar Airport within two months of purchase and complete the required refund and inspection procedures.
- Fees and actual net payouts remain unverified. Assuming an unknown fee is zero is a before-fee estimate, not a guaranteed 8.2569% net refund. This is a rules guide and does not imply Singapore product-price coverage.
