Singapore IPM Eligibility Checker

    Singapore exempts qualifying Investment Precious Metals (IPM) from GST. This screening tool checks whether a gold product appears to meet the selected IPM criteria — including purity, refiner status and product form.

    It is a guide only. Only IRAS can confirm GST treatment for a specific product. High purity alone does not make every gold product GST-exempt.
