The Major Exporter Scheme (MES) is one of the most common GST schemes in Singapore to relieve companies of the cash flow cost of paying import GST to Singapore Customs and subsequently claiming it as input tax in the GST returns.
It is an important GST scheme for companies and the IRAS can revoke the MES scheme if it is being abused.
