GST, from working out whether you need it to filing the return
Registration is compulsory once taxable turnover passes the threshold, and optional before that. We tell you when you are approaching it, rather than after you have passed it.

How it works
We watch your turnover.
Calculated from your books, not from memory.
We tell you before you cross.
Registration is compulsory once the threshold is passed. Late registration carries penalties.
The licensed firm registers you.
Application prepared and submitted.
Licensed-person approvalReturns filed quarterly.
Prepared from reconciled books, reviewed before submission.
Licensed-person approvalWhat we need
- 01Access to your books or bank feeds.
- 02Your current registration status.
- 03Details of any overseas sales.
Whether a supply is standard-rated, zero-rated or exempt is a judgement, not a lookup. A qualified reviewer signs the return and records the basis for anything unusual.
Common questions
When must I register?
Once taxable turnover exceeds the registration threshold on a retrospective or prospective basis. We monitor both.
Should I register voluntarily?
Sometimes. It helps if your customers are GST-registered businesses and hurts if they are consumers. We will tell you which applies.
What is the current rate?
Confirm the prevailing rate with IRAS — it has changed in recent years and we do not want a stale number on this page.
Do I need a Peppol ID?
If you are registering for GST voluntarily, yes — and you need it before you apply, not after. See our InvoiceNow page for the phase dates and how the sequencing works.
