Effective Management of Large Numbers of Invoices for Singapore SMEs Managing a high volume of invoices can be a daunting task for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Singapore. However, with the right strategies and tools, businesses can streamline their invoicing processes and improve efficiency.
Example : If a restaurant charges S$25 for a meal and the GST is 7%, the total bill would be S$26.75. The total bill will show the price of the dish (S$30) plus 7% GST (S$2.10) , making the total S$32.10. Service Charge Considerations Many restaurants add a service charge (typically 10% ) to their bills.
For example, if your business is paying S$100 a month for cloud-based software, the additional GST will add S$7 to your monthly bill. That being said, if your business is GST -registered (with an annual turnover exceeding S$1 million), you can claim back the GST you pay on these imported services through input tax credits.
Improve Invoicing : Use invoicing software to streamline billing and ensure payments are collected promptly. Engage Professional Advice : Seek advice from tax professionals familiar with Singapore’s tax landscape to optimise your tax efficiency and ensure full compliance with corporatetax regulations.
Its not just about your profits; its about ensuring your business can pay its bills, invest in growth, and weather unexpected challenges. Example: If a restaurant business owner consistently delays invoicing for catering services, they may experience delays in receiving payment, affecting their ability to pay staff or suppliers on time.
In a PYMNTS survey of AP pros, 25 percent said duplicate invoices or payments “create noticeable pain points in manual AP operations. Something as simple as receiving a second notice for a bill and trying to determine if it has already been paid can quickly turn into a lengthy time-eating detour.” Is it Right for Your Business?
Example: A small IT consultancy firm with a turnover of SGD 500,000 opts for voluntary GST registration to reclaim tax on its equipment purchases, thereby improving cash flow. Ensure your billing and accounting reflect these changes accurately. Zero-Rated Supplies: Transactions such as exports are zero-rated at 0%.
