Singapore Tax Refund Guide – Claim GST Back as a Tourist
If you're planning a trip to Singapore and love shopping as much as I do, then listen up — because this travel tip will seriously help you stretch your Ringgit! 💸 As a Malaysian traveler, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Singapore offers tax refunds (GST refunds) for tourists on a wide range of purchases.
From Orchard Road’s fashion boutiques to skincare at Changi Airport, you can claim back part of the 9% GST (Goods and Services Tax) on your spending — and yes, it’s easier than you might think! 😍🛍️
Whether you’re visiting Singapore for a weekend getaway, family trip, or quick shopping run, knowing how the Singapore Tourist Refund Scheme works can help you save more while enjoying the Lion City. 🧴👟🎧

In this guide, I’ll walk you through exactly how Singapore’s tax refund system works, how much you can get back, who’s eligible, and my own step-by-step experience. 💼✈️💳
🧐 What is a Singapore Tax Refund?
When you shop in Singapore, you pay a Goods and Services Tax (GST) — which is 9% as of 2024. But here’s the best part: as a non-resident tourist, you can get a refund on GST for eligible purchases made at participating stores under the Tourist Refund Scheme (TRS). 🙌
It’s like a mini cashback reward just for shopping across the Causeway 😄🛒
💰 How Much is GST in Singapore?
GST is currently 9% on most goods. If you’re shopping for luxury items, electronics, or branded skincare, that can add up quickly. Good news is, you can get most of that refunded! 💳💸
🔙 How Much Can I Get Back?
After administrative fees, you can usually expect a refund of around 7%–8%. For example, I spent about SGD 800 (~RM2,800) and got back around SGD 60 (~RM210) — which I happily spent on snacks at Changi Airport! 😆🍫

Stayed here with my mom in Singapore. The room was really new and clean, and the staff were all very polite. The view from the window was beautiful, and the breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of options. The hotel's location is convenient; there's a mall within a ten-minute walk where you can also find places to eat.

As our parents are celebrating their golden jubilee, we are upgraded to the premier rooms. They have decorated the rooms and did surprise us. The rooms are at level 12. Rooms are clean and with great views. The breakfast buffet had wide spread of options, there’s a lot of choose from. The only downside is that no ice cream was not provided on that day. Otherwise, I will give them a 10/10. Location is very convenient and connected the the main shopping streets of Orchard Road. It make our staycation a memorable one.
We are so happy with the services provided by the front office and carousel restuarant that we decided to book the rooms again during Xmas time. Hope to see them soon.DariVND 4,327,614

I was a bit disappointed with the hotel during this second visit in June 2026. There was a noisy construction site outside the window, and drilling went on for several hours in one of the neighboring rooms due to renovations. I really wanted to rest after my journey but couldn't, neither in the room nor on the terrace. They couldn't find another room for me, but they tried to smooth things over, which is a plus for the hotel.
This time, there were no welcome fruits, no second evening housekeeping service, and no replenishment of amenities, tea bags, or candies.
Breakfast was good.
The view was excellent; I watched the tree show from my room.
Overall, considering the room price, I had hoped for better. My first visit was more enjoyable.
It's best to go to the pool right when it opens at 6 AM – there are minimal people then. However, it's heavily chlorinated; even after washing, the smell wouldn't come out of my swimsuit. It was convenient that my room was in the same tower, so I could go to the pool in my bathrobe and slippers. There's free bottled water at the pool and a restaurant for snacks.DariVND 18,320,747

I was quite worried after reading the reviews, but my overall experience was good. First off, the location is really excellent. It's super convenient for dining and getting to Clarke Quay, which was perfect for me since I was on a business trip and didn't have much extra time for sightseeing. I could just walk a few steps and take photos of those colorful windows. I stayed in the North Tower, and it wasn't on a high floor. When I checked in, I asked for a room with a good view, and they gave me a city view. I didn't bother asking for anything else and just settled in. There wasn't much to see view-wise, but at least there wasn't any outside noise. The North Tower is closer to Clarke Quay, while the South Tower is closer to the MRT and Funan mall. Cleanliness was also fine, and I didn't even need to use my universal adapter. The staff were very friendly. After reading reviews, I specifically brought cash for the deposit, so I could get it back immediately upon checkout 😂. The only thing that wasn't great in the room was a small step at the bathroom entrance, so you had to be careful.DariVND 4,528,898

Our flight arrived early, and we got to the hotel around 8 AM. Luckily, our room was already prepared, so we were able to check in right away. After a refreshing shower and a short rest, we headed out to explore – it was an absolutely fantastic experience.
The hotel room has a balcony with an amazing view; we could see the Marina Bay Sands, the Singapore Flyer, and the Merlion from there.
On the 4th floor, there's a Peach Blossoms restaurant, which holds a Black Pearl rating. The food was delicious, but as expected, it was quite pricey.
The subway station is just a few minutes' walk downstairs, making it very convenient for both taking the subway and getting a taxi.DariVND 8,984,249

The location is great, right in the Marina Bay area, and all rooms have balconies with views overlooking Marina Bay. The twin beds are quite spacious. However, the overall design of the room and lobby isn't particularly memorable. The direct connection to the mall is a big plus; it's great for eating and shopping, especially on a rainy day! There's no bottled water in the room, just an empty bottle for you to refill yourself. The housekeeping was also a bit sloppy, especially after staying for several days – many amenities weren't replenished.DariVND 6,878,506

The hotel's location is excellent, with a subway station right outside the door and another line a few hundred meters away that goes to Chinatown. It's about an 800-meter walk to the Fort Canning tree tunnel (a popular photo spot), and from there you can continue on to the Old Hill Street Police Station (also known as the Rainbow Police Station), Clarke Quay, and the Merlion.
The room size is a definite advantage compared to other hotels in the same price range; there's plenty of space to walk even with two large suitcases. The bathroom size is standard as well.
The downside is that the bathroom fixtures are quite old, and the shower is difficult to use. However, I was aware of this beforehand, so I was prepared, and given the other advantages, it's acceptable. The bedding is good, and the sofa is quite comfortable. Among the toiletries, only the shampoo, shower gel, and toothbrush weren't great; everything else was fine.
The room has a kettle and comes with tea and coffee packets. There's also a water dispenser in the hallway where you can get iced or room temperature water.
The hotel breakfast is decent, on par with business hotels in China. However, the service is excellent; they diligently restock drinks and food even at the last minute, even if there are only a few people dining.
There are washing machines and dryers on the fourth floor, each costing 5 SGD, and you can get change for coins at the front desk. The commercial machines work very well; the dryer gets clothes completely dry in 40 minutes. There are also ironing facilities in the room.
Overall, I recommend this hotel. If you have a higher budget, you might look elsewhere, but if you're looking for great value for money at this price point, you should definitely consider it.DariVND 3,127,649

One of the biggest highlights of this hotel is its fantastic location. The MRT station is just a minute away on foot, making transportation around Singapore effortless.

The room was well-maintained, clean, and comfortable. I particularly loved the large window that provided plenty of natural light and a pleasant street view. The hotel was also kind enough to accommodate my request for a room with a bidet, which I greatly appreciated.

Pros: Very close to VivoCity, just across the road (though you'll need to cross a few traffic lights).
Other than that, there's not much else to write home about.
The biggest problem is the excessive noise! The sound of vehicles (likely motorcycles) on the road at night is incredibly 'refreshing' – I've never had trouble sleeping before, but I was woken up multiple times. If you're a light sleeper, definitely avoid this place. The bed is also very high, so it's not suitable for seniors with mobility issues. The design of the bathroom and shower doors is quite odd, and the soundproofing in the room is terrible. Flushing the toilet in the middle of the night creates a very loud noise, which is disruptive to anyone else in the room.DariVND 3,092,811

The hotel staff were attentive and responsible. I was pleasantly surprised during check-in to find a staff member who spoke Mandarin, which really eased any communication stress.
There was just one minor snag. On occasion, after the daily cleaning, the housekeeping staff on my floor would forget to restock some toiletries like toothbrushes and slippers. However, once I contacted hotel services, the items were delivered to my room quite promptly, so the overall service attitude was still very good.DariVND 2,597,342

There is a kiosk where I received my complimentary rail pass to Beach Ststion (last stop). Behind the train station is a free shuttle service which dropped me directly outside the Resort. Up to level 8 to complete my check-in which was conducted smoothly by the friendly desk team. They provided clear instructions for the ongoing use of monorail on the island and the free shuttle services around the island attractions. I received a cool upgrade and proceeded to my room which was clean and then refreshed each day. The location opposite the beach and a 7 minute walk to the train station which is surrounded by food outlets and stores to cater for your convenience. The team at Siloso Beach Resort enjoy their work and were always eager to assist with any enquiries, provision of umbrella or any guidance with onsite matters.
