Singapore Invoice Template
Singapore's straightforward 9% GST system makes invoicing simpler than many other jurisdictions, but the city-state's business culture is precise about what must appear on every commercial document. Eonebill's Singapore Invoice Template is built for the Lion City's requirements: UEN numbers prominently displayed, IRAS-compliant GST calculations, SGD currency formatting, and all fields that Singapore businesses and their clients expect to see. Whether you run a fintech startup in the CBD, a logistics company in Jurong, or a freelance design practice in Tiong Bahru, this template produces clean, professional, IRAS-compliant invoices in seconds.
What Makes a Singapore Invoice Different
Singapore occupies a unique position in Southeast Asia's business landscape. It is one of the most trade-friendly jurisdictions in the world, with a GST system that is deliberately simple compared to India's multi-tier structure or France's e-invoicing mandates. The current 9% GST rate applies uniformly to most goods and services, with exemptions for financial services, residential property leases, and investment precious metals. This simplicity means Singapore invoices can focus more on clarity and professionalism than on navigating complex tax calculations.
The most distinctive identifier on a Singapore invoice is the UEN (Unique Entity Number). Issued by the Government of Singapore, the UEN replaced the old Company Registration Number (Co. Reg. No.) format for official business communications. Every invoice, receipt, and official document should carry the UEN. For foreign companies operating branches in Singapore, a separate Singapore branch UEN is issued, which is distinct from the overseas parent company's registration number.
Singapore also operates a strict invoice-based record-keeping system under IRAS (Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore) regulations. GST-registered businesses must retain all tax invoices and receipts for at least five years. A compliant invoice from a GST-registered supplier must clearly show the GST registration number (which begins with M2- followed by digits), the word "GST" or "Goods and Services Tax," the GST amount charged, and the rate applied. Customers who are also GST-registered can use this information to claim input tax credits.
Key Requirements for Singapore Invoices
Legal Mandatory Fields
A GST-compliant Singapore invoice must include: the words "Tax Invoice" or "Invoice" prominently; supplier's business name and UEN; supplier's GST registration number (M2-XXXXXXX); supplier's registered address; date of issue (invoice date); a unique invoice number; customer's business name and address; description of goods or services supplied; quantity and unit price; total amount excluding GST; GST rate applied (currently 9%); GST amount; total amount payable including GST; and payment terms. For GST-exempt supplies, the invoice must clearly state "Exempt Supply" or "Zero-rated Supply" as applicable.
Tax Identification Numbers
Singapore uses two primary identifiers. The UEN (Unique Entity Number) is the mandatory business identifier for all entities registered in Singapore: local companies show as 10 characters (e.g., 202012345A), and foreign companies show with an S or T prefix. The GST Registration Number is a 12-character identifier issued by IRAS upon GST registration, formatted as M2- followed by 8 digits (e.g., M2-12345678). Both should appear on business documents. Sole proprietors and partnerships use their UEN from ACRA registration.
Currency and Number Formatting
Singapore invoices use Singapore Dollars (SGD, S$). The S$ symbol or the written form "SGD" appears before the amount without a space: S$1,250.00 or SGD 1,250.00. The standard international format with commas for thousands and a decimal point applies (e.g., S$125,000.00). Eonebill's Singapore template automatically formats all amounts correctly, and for international clients, supports dual-currency display showing USD equivalents alongside SGD.
