Come and discover the Singapore Tax Story at the IRAS Gallery that brings you on a journey through the ages ever since Singapore was founded in 1819. It takes you back to the beginnings of tax through a detailed timeline that stretches through to the present. Get interesting facts on who was the first to introduce taxes in Singapore; when were the different types of taxes introduced; how did the administration of tax transform itself over the past 60 years and more.

Attractions at the Gallery

	Follow the trail of different lines in the circuit to discover “Just what is tax, really?” and “What does your tax pay for?”.
	Interactive displays where you can literally open filing cabinets, flip over flip-cards and pull out files from shelves, as you delve deeper into the Singapore tax story.
	Interesting artefacts from the tax department in the past, such as the tax collector’s must-have kit, old computer disks, embossing machines, stamps and more.
	Interactive games that will challenge your skills and knowledge of Income Tax, GST and Property Tax, and find out if you have what it takes to play the role of a tax investigator pursuing tax evaders!
