Claim Up to S$1,000 with the GST InvoiceNow Transition Grant
To encourage digital invoicing adoption among small and medium-sized businesses, Singapore’s government has introduced the GST InvoiceNow Transition Grant, offering a one-time cash payout of S$1,000 to eligible GST-registered businesses.
The grant is designed to help businesses offset the costs of adopting InvoiceNow-compatible solutions and prepare for upcoming GST InvoiceNow requirements.

The GST InvoiceNow Transition Grant provides financial support to qualifying GST-registered businesses that implement InvoiceNow through an approved solution provider or accredited access point.
Eligible businesses can receive a S$1,000 cash grant after successfully activating GST InvoiceNow and submitting invoice data to the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) before their applicable compliance deadline.
The grant will be available from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2030, or until available funding has been fully disbursed.
