GST registration becomes compulsory once your company’s taxable turnover exceeds S$1 million in the past 12 months, or is reasonably expected to exceed that threshold in the next 12 months. Companies below that threshold can also register voluntarily. Pointer Services assesses your position, prepares the required documentation, and manages the entire registration process with IRAS, followed by ongoing GST filing support.
