F&B · SINGAPORE

Accounting & tax for food & beverage businesses.

Running a café, restaurant or central kitchen means hundreds of small transactions a day, tight margins, shift staff, and delivery platforms each paying out differently. We turn that daily noise into clean books and accurate filings.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR

Compliance notes for F&B.

Service charge forms part of your taxable supply for GST; tips passed directly to staff are treated differently, so the split matters.
Delivery-platform commissions are an expense, not a reduction of sales — gross order value still counts toward GST turnover.

Progressive Wage support and PSG may apply to POS and payroll software for F&B operators.

Typical setup

Typically a Pte Ltd per brand or outlet, a cloud POS feeding Xero or QuickBooks, with hundreds of transactions a day.

Recommended: Growth

from$280/mo

F&B usually means GST registration, payroll for several crew and tight margin reporting — the Growth tier covers all three.

F&B accounting — common questions.

Is GST charged on the service charge?

Yes — service charge is part of the taxable supply, so GST applies on the subtotal plus service charge for GST-registered F&B businesses.

How do delivery platform commissions affect my GST?

The commission is a business expense. Your taxable turnover is the gross order value before the platform's cut, so the commission doesn't lower your GST figure.

Can you handle payroll for part-time and shift staff?

Yes. We process variable hours, CPF for eligible staff and year-end IR8A so rostered and casual crew are paid correctly.
