Claiming GST on Expenses for Qualifying VCCs
To qualify for the GST remission, the VCC must:
- satisfy the conditions for specific income tax concessions as at the last day of its preceding financial year; and
- be managed or advised by a prescribed fund manager in Singapore.
Under the GST remission, qualifying VCCs will be able to recover GST incurred on expenses, with the exception of expenses disallowed under regulations 26 and 27 of the GST (General) Regulations. To ease compliance, the GST recovery is based on a fixed recovery rate.
