  • filed by hand on the administration’s portal
Electronic invoicingThe profile the country imposes, the day it starts, and the text that imposes it.
pint-sg — no obligation in law

No Singapore statute obliges a business to send an electronic invoice to another business or to accept one, so the obligation is `none` and mandatory_from is empty. What Singapore has instead is the GST InvoiceNow Requirement: a GST-registered business submits the data of its sales and purchase invoices to IRAS through InvoiceNow, the Peppol network IMDA runs as the Singapore Peppol Authority, by the earlier of the day it files the relevant GST return and that return's due date. IRAS, GST InvoiceNow Requirement, and its e-Tax Guide (second edition, 9 March 2026, paragraph 2.3): from 1 November 2025 for companies registering voluntarily within six months of incorporation, from 1 April 2026 for every new voluntary registrant, as a condition of voluntary registration; then, in phases on 1 April 2028 (new compulsory registrants, and existing ones with annual supplies up to $200,000), 1 April 2029 (up to $1 million), 1 April 2030 (up to $4 million) and 1 April 2031 (the rest), by legislative amendments the e-Tax Guide says will be enacted at a later date. It is a transmission to the tax administration, which a buyer's invoice may or may not travel with, and not an exchange between businesses; the vocabulary has no word for it, which docs/international.md records. The profile is PINT SG Billing (customization urn:peppol:pint:billing-1@sg-1), the data format of the requirement. A party is addressed by its UEN under ICD 0195, Singapore Nationwide E-Invoice Framework, the Peppol ID the e-Tax Guide asks every business to register in the SG Peppol Directory. The GST registration number — the UEN for most companies, an M-prefixed number for others — has no ISO 6523 scheme of its own, so vat_scheme is empty. PINT SG carries its own GST category codes (SR, ZR, ES33, ESN33, OS, NG, SRCA-S, SRCA-C, SRRC and others), which are not the UNCL5305 letters vat_category holds: each tax names its PINT SG code in its legal_reference.

Free, and operated

Where the open core stops.

The line is operational, not functional. Everything that keeps working on its own is open core; what needs credentials, a certificate or a channel somebody keeps running is the hosted edition.

SG-GST-F5declaration

Free, for everComputed from the ledger, frozen box by box, filed by hand on the administration’s portal, and what it owes is carried to 2110. The deposit number and the administration’s own words come back into your own database.

OperatedTransmission: the credentials, the certificate and a channel somebody keeps running. The return stays yours.

pint-sgeinvoicing

Free, for everAn invoice is written and validated as pint-sg by a brick of packages/formats, and read back the same way.

OperatedSending and receiving over Peppol: a certified access point and a certificate.
