Bad Debt Relief in Singapore
Singapore offers several avenues for bad debt relief for businesses. Here's a breakdown:
Bad Debt Relief under GST: If your business is GST-registered and you've accounted for and paid GST on a supply but haven't received payment from your customer, you can apply for bad debt relief from the Comptroller of GST. This allows you to recover the GST you've paid.
Conditions: You must have written off the debt in your accounts, 12 months must have passed since the date of supply (unless the debtor is insolvent), and you must have taken reasonable steps to recover the debt.
Claiming: You can claim this relief in your GST return.
