SingPost to raise domestic postage rates for two categoriesSINGAPORE: Singapore Post is raising its domestic postage rates for standard mail for two categories by one cent.
These are for letters of up to 20 grams and up to 40 grams.
The higher rates will come into effect next month.
SingPost says the move is necessary because of the increase in the Goods and Services Tax from five per cent to seven per cent.
Postage rates for all other categories will remain unchanged as SingPost plans to absorb the two per cent incremental increase in the GST rate.
From next month, the domestic postage rate for standard mail up to 20 grams will be revised from 25 cents to 26 cents.
For up to 40 grams, it will be revised from 31 cents to 32 cents. - CNA/yy
