Effective 1 July 2025, the Malaysian government has implemented an adjusted Sales and Service Tax (SST) framework, with the standard SST rate increased to 8%, up from the previous 6%.
As your logistics partner, we want to ensure you're well-informed and fully prepared for these changes — especially if your business involves importation, local sales, or export-related services.
🔍 Key Highlights of the New SST Update:
8% SST now applies to a broader range of taxable goods and services.
Certain specific services remain at 6%, but are limited in scope.
Customs documentation and declarations must be updated to reflect the correct rates.
Businesses may experience cost adjustments across the supply chain due to the new rate.
