GOODS and services tax (GST) could soon be levied on e-commerce purchases, as the government looks to diversify its tax base and capture value from this fast-growing sector, tax specialists have said.

This could mean getting big e-commerce players to register for GST here if they sell to Singapore consumers, or getting consumers to pay tax on the goods and services they buy online.
