DEFINITION

Noun

A consumption tax imposed by the Government on all goods and services.

由来
  • 为了提高新加坡在国际上的竞争力，政府于1994年4月1日开始征收消费税（Goods and Services Tax）。
  • 在这个税收制度下，政府可减少直接向个人征收的税款，改而从服务和商品征税。这样的税收制度较稳定，不会因为国人个人收入的起伏而有太大的波动。
  • 1994年，新加坡开始征收消费税，当时的税率是3%。2003年，税率调高至4%，2005年调高至5%，2007年调高至7%。
  • 2012年，政府推出消费税补助券 (GST Vouchers) 来帮助低收入的国人。这项措施由现金、填补保健储蓄户头 (Medisave) 和水电回扣计划 (U-Save) 三个部分组成。
  • 2020年1月1日起，国内税务局 (Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore) 开始向进口数码服务征收消费税。
ETYMOLOGY
  • In order to improve Singapore’s international competitiveness, the Government began to levy a Goods and Services Tax on 1 April 1994.
  •  Under this tax system, the Government would be able to reduce taxes directly levied on individuals and instead levy taxes on services and goods. Such a tax system is relatively stable and will not fluctuate too much due to the fluctuations in citizens’ personal income.
  • In 1994, Singapore began to levy the GST at 3%. In 2003, it was increased to 4%, and then to 5% and 7% in 2005 and 2007 respectively.
  • In 2012, the government introduced the GST Voucher (GSTV) scheme to help low-income citizens. The scheme has three components: Cash; a Medisave top- up; and U-Save, a utilities bill rebate.
  • From 1 January 2020, the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) began to collect GST on overseas digital services.
例句
