SST was implemented on 1st September 2018 and manufacturers, importers, exporters, traders and service providers need to possess the necessary knowledge to understand the fundamental sales tax and service tax (SST) principles . It is important for businesses to apply the correct SST treatment in order to submit the correct returns and pay the exact amount of tax.

Lately, even for businesses who are NOT registered with SST, you may also need to comply with the rules and regulations, e.g. vendor (agent) who purchase materials on behalf of a registered manufacturer will need to apply for Schedule C item 3 from customs in order to get exemptions from sales tax.

Furthermore, imported service will cover all businesses now. Non-registrant who consumed overseas service in Malaysia will need to declare and pay for the service tax.
