Can I claim refund of the GST paid on gifts purchased in Singapore?
As a visitor to Singapore, you may claim refund of the GST paid on your purchases under the Tourist Tax Refund Scheme. To enjoy the scheme, the purchase must be made from a participating shop. Participating shops will display “Tax Refund” logo or a Global Refund “Tax Free Shopping” logo. Claims for tourist tax refund are approved subject to certain conditions – for information on the conditions, please click here. On your day of departure from Singapore Changi Airport, please proceed to the Tax Refund Counter and present your purchases together with the tax claim forms for customs inspection. Please note that Customs will not process the tax claim forms if the goods are not presented for inspection.
