What is SST in Malaysia? (Sales & Service Tax)

In Malaysia, Sales and Service Tax (SST) is a single-stage tax system that replaced the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in 2018. Unlike GST which was a multi-stage value-added tax, SST is only charged once: either at the manufacturing/import stage (Sales Tax) or at the point of service delivery to the consumer (Service Tax).

Sales Tax (5% & 10%)

Sales Tax is levied on taxable goods manufactured locally in Malaysia or imported from overseas. The rate is typically set at 5% or 10% depending on the class of goods, while basic necessities and food ingredients are generally exempt from Sales Tax.

Service Tax (6% & 8%)

Service Tax is charged on specific taxable services provided in Malaysia. The baseline service tax is 6% (e.g. for food & beverage in restaurants). Beginning March 2024, the service tax rate was raised to 8% for other professional services, logistics, and telecommunications.
