GST Explanation

Not sure if you have enjoyed GSTSAVINGS? Here’s how to read your receipt.

Sample receipt from The Shilla Duty Free Cosmetic & Perfume Stores at Singapore Changi Airport

If the purchase you made from our stores are either during arrival to Singapore, at the public area Shilla store, OR engaged our Pre-Order service (Purchase now, collect later) at our 24hours central main store located at the departure hall, all of our receipts pricing are Tax Free item meaning 8% GST is not inclusive.

This is how your receipt would look base on our GST Brochure.

(A) In this sample receipt, the GST-exclusive item costs S$100. This doesn’t include 8% GST yet.

(B) The first GSTSAVING discount:
That’s S$100.00 – 7.41% = S$92.59

(C) Because 8% GST is NOT yet included in the price, 8% of the pre-GST price (S$92.59) is now added. That’s S$92.59 x 8% (which is S$7.41) of S$92.59 = S$100.00

(A) SO, THE FINAL PAYMENT AS S$100.00 PRICE after being adjusted is still the Tax-Free price you pay at our store.
