Q: What are the changes in SST effective 1 July 2025?

A: Effective 1 July 2025, Malaysia expanded the SST scope to include more goods and services. Sales tax now covers certain imported luxury items at 5–10%, and service tax at 8% applies to new sectors like commercial leasing, logistics, financial services, and construction. Some essential services remain at 6%.

Q: Do I need to register if my leasing revenue is RM 800K?

A: Yes—new RM 1M threshold applies only to services, but count combined service sales. Training covers threshold-intent.

Q: When do we start charging 10% sales tax for luxury items?

A: From 1 July 2025—invoice management for this transition is included in the course.

Q: How do I know if my company needs to register for SST?

A: If your company provides taxable goods or services and your annual turnover exceeds the threshold (RM500,000 for goods; RM1 million for services under certain categories), you’re required to register. Our training walks you through the process using real examples.

Q: What’s the penalty for SST non-compliance?

A: While the government has given a compliance grace period until 31 December 2025, penalties after that may include fines, backdated tax, and possible legal action. Staying compliant early helps avoid future costs.

Q: How is SST different from GST?

A: SST is a single-stage tax—sales tax applies to manufacturers/importers, and service tax applies to selected service providers. Unlike GST, SST is not multi-stage or claimable. Our training includes a side-by-side comparison to help participants understand the difference clearly.
