SST rates in Malaysia (2026)

8%standard
6%reduced

The standard rate of 8% applies to most goods and services. Reduced rates (6%) apply only to specific goods and services defined by law. Locally, the tax is called Sales and Service Tax (SST). Registration / small-business threshold: RM 500,000 annual taxable services (most services).

Good to know

  • Malaysia uses SST rather than VAT: service tax is generally 8% (6% for certain services such as food and beverage and telecommunications), and sales tax on goods is generally 10% or 5%.

How it’s calculated

VAT is charged as a percentage of the net (pre-tax) price. To add it, multiply the net amount by the rate; to find the net amount inside a tax-inclusive price, divide the gross amount by 1 plus the rate.

A common mistake is to remove VAT by subtracting the rate from the gross price (e.g. 119 − 19% = 96.39). That is wrong — the correct net amount is 119 ÷ 1.19 = 100.

  • Gross = Net × (1 + rate ÷ 100)
  • VAT = Net × rate ÷ 100
  • Net = Gross ÷ (1 + rate ÷ 100)
