Reporting tax when using Shopify Payments for Singapore
As a merchant, you're required to abide by all applicable regulations, including tax reporting. Depending on your jurisdiction, Shopify Payments might also be required to report your sales to the local tax authorities.
In Singapore, you need to file the amount of GST paid on transaction fees with the government. To get this information, you can download a generated invoice, or export a file with your transaction information.

Download a generated invoice
You can download monthly invoices to submit with your tax claim. Each invoice includes the total GST paid on transaction fees for all orders made in your store that month. This feature uses the UTC time zone, which might be different from your store's time zone. If you want a report that uses your store's time zone, then you can export a list of your store's transactions as a CSV file. The documents section is available only to the store owner. Staff can't access this section even if you grant them all available permissions.
The invoice for each month is generated on the 5th of the following month. For example, the invoice for June is generated on July 5th. If you had no transactions with Shopify Payments for a certain month, then no invoice is generated for that month.
Steps:
Export transactions
You can export a list of your store's transactions to a CSV file. The CSV file includes a GST column for Singapore merchants.
