Pagero acknowledged Accredited Access Point Provider in Singapore

Service providers wishing to operate in Singapore must undergo an extensive accreditation process to be certified by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) as Accredited Access Points.

What this means for Singapore businesses 

GST-registered businesses will be required to send invoice data directly to IRAS via Accredited Access Point Providers (AP). The GST InvoiceNow Requirement was designed to digitalize invoicing and facilitate submitting invoice data from GST-registered businesses to the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS). The regulation is enabled by leveraging the InvoiceNow network.

The data to be transmitted covers all data on invoices or equivalent documents that serve as bills for payment (or adjustments of bill for payment) for supplies and purchases made. Businesses must transmit data on standard, zero-rated, and exempt supplies and purchases reported in GST returns.

InvoiceNow timeline

The GST InvoiceNow Requirement adoption will initially be voluntary in May 2025, followed by mandatory participation implemented progressively in phases:

- From November 1, 2025, newly incorporated businesses¹ that register for GST voluntarily must start transmitting invoice data to the IRAS through an Accredited Access Point;

- From April 1, 2026, all new voluntary GST registrants must start transmitting invoice data to the IRAS through an Accredited Access Point.

Having successfully completed the accreditation procedure, Pagero is dedicated to offering a streamlined, compliant solution for the upcoming mandate in Singapore. Stay tuned for further developments.

¹ Businesses that are incorporated within 6 months from the time they submit their application for GST registration
