Good to know
E-invoicing (MyInvois)
LHDN is introducing e-invoicing in phases by turnover, and businesses below the exemption threshold don't have to issue e-invoices yet. Check where your business falls.
Sales or service tax
Manufacturers charge sales tax on goods, service providers charge service tax on taxable services. Many businesses only deal with one of the two.
SST isn't GST
Unlike GST, SST is charged once and businesses generally can't claim it back, so it's simply part of the price your client pays.
This is general information, not tax advice. Rules and rates can change, so check the latest with the Royal Malaysian Customs (SST) and LHDN (e-invoicing) or your accountant.
