We wish to draw your attention to the recent revision in the Service Tax rate, which has been increased from 6% to 8%, effective from 1 March 2024.
This amendment is in accordance with the gazetted order issued on 26 February 2024. For a copy of the gazetted order, click the link below: https://mysst.customs.gov.my/assets/document/SST%20Orders/order/PERINTAH%20CUKAI%20PERKHIDMATAN%20(KADAR%20CUKAI)%20(PINDAAN)%202024.pdf
However, the Service Tax rate will remain at 6% for certain services. These include:
- Food and beverage services
- Telecommunication services
- Parking facility services
- Logistic services
All other taxable services that are not mentioned in the list above will be subject to the new rate of 8% starting from 1 March 2024. We recommend that our clients review this new tax implementation thoroughly and make the necessary arrangements to ensure compliance.
To get a clearer understanding of your specific situation, it's essential to consult with a tax professional who can provide personalised guidance.
