Yep. Aware of that. It's supposed to be 7% but then after deductions due to commission and whatnot it'll be around 5.5%-6% only.

Thanks anyway! biggrin.gif

Which Zouk in SG? There's a bar and a club. And what advise do you want? If you're bringing your girl there make sure to watch her all the time. SG guys like to approach girls so much more than MY dudes.

Yep. That's the club. The biggest section which plays house music is the best place to go imho. More spacious. If you go to the mainstream one it's like packed like sardine. Can't remember the names of the different sections though sorry.

Geylang is the furthest from town area..also the cheapest in terms of accomodation.. around RM150+- per nite.. chinatown area around RM300+- per nite.. Orchard can reach bloody RM1000 per nite.. but if u travel alone then diff story,can simply find a backpacker n stay in..cheap..google around,there's plenty of it. smile.gif

Hi everyone....I am going to Singapore by AirAsia (LCCT-Changi Terminal 1) soon.

I plan to buy some branded goods (clothes, belts, shoes etc) from Singapore for my own personal use and would like to ask a few questions regarding the GST claim.
1) How am I supposed to know which shops around Singapore, especially Orchard Road shopping malls would enable me to claim the GST?

2) Is claiming GST significant/cost effective? Say for example, would buying duty free goods at the airport save me more compared to buying them from retail shopping outlets and then claiming GST from there?

3) Is it troublesome to claim GST? I've been to SG many many times but this is the first time I plan to claim GST.

4) Would I face any problems with customs in Malaysia if I were to bring back this goods? As in, would I be taxed and what not?

Cheers!  biggrin.gif

I help you to answer your queries...

1. Mostly all branded shop can claim for GST but on t&c which mean you can claim your GST if your purchase above certain amount. Also when u make payment, you let the cashier to know bout it.

2. Yes, is very effective.. My father in law brought 4pants at bosini and he manage claim 7% and he had to buy SGD$100.. Whcih he enjoy discount already and additional can claim GST..

3. No troublesome. Is after the departure kastam or before de... If before de then is nearby airasia counter. You can claim GST if you departure from Singapore by air not land. Which mean you had to fly out of Singapore instead of taking bus/ car out of Singapore.

4. There will be no problem at all in Malaysia kastam...
