Approved Marine Fuel Trader (MFT) Scheme

Under MFT Scheme, approved businesses need not pay GST when making local purchases of approved marine fuel oil from any GST-registered suppliers.
Jump To

Purpose

This scheme is designed to benefit qualifying businesses in the bunkering industry that make local purchases of approved marine fuel oil ("MFO").

GST registered businesses approved under the Approved Marine Fuel Trader (MFT) Scheme need not pay GST on local purchases of approved marine fuel oil (e.g. MFO 380cst) from any GST-registered suppliers. This eases the cash flow difficulties of the approved businesses by eliminating the need to pay GST upfront and to subsequently claim it back by obtaining a refund from IRAS.
