GST InvoiceNow Requirement
On 15 Apr 2024, Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) announced plans for a phased adoption of InvoiceNow for GST-registered businesses (“GST InvoiceNow Requirement”). This marks a collaborative endeavour involving IMDA and IRAS to enhance productivity, improve compliance and reduce costs for businesses through the adoption of InvoiceNow.
GST-registered businesses will be required to transmit invoice data to IRAS using InvoiceNow-Ready Solutions via the InvoiceNow network. This mandatory participation will be implemented progressively:
A soft launch for early adoption will commence from 1 May 2025, allowing non-mandatory participation from existing GST-registered businesses and those businesses applying for GST registration on/after 1 May 2025 that wish to be early adopters to transmit invoice data to IRAS using InvoiceNow-Ready Solutions via the InvoiceNow network.
There are plans to progressively extend mandatory participation to new compulsory GST registrants and the remaining GST-registered businesses. IRAS will continue to consult industry partners and carefully review the feedback received before announcing further details.
Businesses can seek support from IRAS or IMDA in their adoption of InvoiceNow. For more information on the implementation of InvoiceNow for GST-registered businesses, please refer to the IRAS webpage.
InvoiceNow Service Providers and GST-registered businesses can refer to the technical design documentation to enhance their solutions for the submission of invoice data to IRAS here: InvoiceNow Technical Guidebook Page.

InvoiceNow for government vendors
About 50% of government vendors are now registered on the nationwide e-invoicing network, InvoiceNow. The Government will implement InvoiceNow as the default e-invoice submission channel for all Government vendors who are registered businesses within the next few years and will eventually replace the Vendors@Gov portal for this group of vendors. We strongly urge vendors who are onboard the network to start sending e-invoices through this channel and those who yet to come onboard to do so as soon as possible.
