Sales and Services Tax (SST) came into effect on September
1, 2018, replacing Goods and Services Tax (GST). SST consists of two pieces of
legislation: the Sales Tax Act 2018, which regulates the manufacturing and oil
and gas industries; and the Service Tax Act 2018 for selected designated
service providers. The components of the SST are a sales tax of 10% and a
service tax of 6%.
Registration
Sales tax is levied on the manufacturing and oil and gas
industries, while service taxes are levied on individual service providers
provided they reach the annual threshold of RM500,000 and above. Service tax is
levied on food and beverage (F&B) operators with an annual turnover of over
RM1.5 million. Manufacturing is defined in section 3 of the Sales Tax Act 2018
as a manufacturing process in which raw materials are converted into goods of
varying quality for Malaysia invoice template,
nature and quantity. It also includes the assembly of vehicles or equipment,
and the production and refining of oil.
Service tax is levied on taxable services as defined in the
Service Tax Regulations 2018. This includes hotels, restaurants, food and
beverage providers, professionals, gaming, specialty industries, and credit
card providers. (A detailed list can be found on the Royal Malaysian Customs (RMC)

Management
SST invoice format is an add-on
item to the invoice based on goods supplied in the case of manufacturers (sales
tax) or services rendered in the case of service providers (service tax).
Accountability of RMC taxes varies as sales tax is recorded on an accrual basis
and service tax is recorded on payments received from customers.
The government recognizes the long time lag between
invoicing and receiving payment from Malaysia invoice requirements
service clients such as auditors, tax professionals, lawyers, engineers,
architects, and appraisers. Paying service tax upon receipt of payment will
greatly facilitate cash flow and reduce business costs for service providers in
a service tax regime.
However, service tax is deemed to have been received if
payment is not received from customers within 12 months from the date of invoice sample Malaysia.
Service tax is payable the day after this period of 12 months.
