    • If you are Singapore GST registered, you are required  to issue a 'Tax Invoice' when invoicing against NTU purchase orders for taxable supplies.
    • If you are Singapore GST registered, you are required  to issue a 'Standard Invoice' when invoicing against NTU purchase orders for non-taxable supplies.
    • If you are not Singapore GST registered, you are required to issue a 'Standard Invoice' when invoicing against NTU purchase orders.

    Please also be informed that e-invoices received with effect from 22 Apr 2019 that do not comply to the required invoice statuses will be rejected by NTU due to non-compliance to IRAS GST regulations.​

  10. Purchase Order (PO) Confirmation
    NTU will be disabling the functionality for PO confirmation.  Suppliers are not required to perform PO confirmation as this functionality has some negative​ impact to NTU process;​
    • unable to perform any variation to the PO price, description and supplier address
    • unable to retrigger the system to resend PO if supplier has lost its initial PO
