Exempt Invoice

A GST-registered supplier can zero-rate the supply of goods and services if the supply involves the export of goods out of Singapore or if the services fall within the description of “international services” under Section 21(3) of the GST Act.

Common examples of zero-rated supplies include the export of goods, sale of air tickets and international freight services.

The value of the zero-rated supply must be reported in the GST return

Different Types Of Exempt Supply

There are two types of exempt supply

1. Regulation 33 Exempt supplies
2. Non-regulation 33 Exempt Supplies

I Will Briefly Explain What This Means:

Regulations 33 Exempt supplies refers to specific categories of supplies specifically listed in Regulation 33 of the GST Act. Common examples include:

1. Interest income received from deposit of money in a financial institution in Singapore;
2. Absolute value of net realised exchange gain or loss;
3. Interest charged to customers that purchase goods or services on credit;
4. Interest income received from bonds

No GST is chargeable on exempt supplies as they are specifically exempted from GST.

Non- Regulation 33 Exempt supplies refers to exempt supplies which are not specifically listed. Common examples include the sale and lease of residential properties, and the supply of financial services as prescribed in the Fourth Schedule of the GST Act.
