I've got a question or two regarding the same subject.

What is the sales tax or VAT in Singapore?

I'm thinking of buying a watch from an American firm's outpost in Singapore, and I'd like to know what kind of taxes I can expect to be built into the price or tacked on at the register.

Relatedly, does anyone know whether the Free Trade Agreement between the United States and Singapore gives returning American tourists a special (higher? total?) duty-free exemption for importation of goods purchased in Singapore?
