Budget 2023: Bulk of revenue hike comes from higher GST collection

Tax collection will grow 1%.

Standard Chartered Bank said it is seeing an increase of revenue for Singapore in fiscal year 2023, with the higher GST collection accounting for most of the growth.

Starting January 1, a 1% rate hike for GST will be imposed along with personal and corporate income taxes as stated from the budget.

There were also adjustments for the tax system, with higher stamp duty rates for high-value properties, increased vehicle tax rates for luxury cars, and a 15% increase in tobacco excise duty.

These changes will generate additional revenue but may dampen demand and soften headline inflation.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
