Good to know: Malaysia uses two separate taxes, not a single VAT: Service Tax is generally 8%, with 6% for specified categories, while Sales Tax applies at 5% or 10% to scheduled goods and exempts essential goods. Select only the component applicable to the transaction; never add these rates together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is SST in Malaysia one VAT?

No. Sales Tax and Service Tax are separate taxes. Service Tax is generally 8% or 6%; scheduled goods may carry 10% or 5% Sales Tax, while essential goods can be exempt.

How should I use the Malaysia calculator?

Choose only the tax component applicable to the transaction. At the selected 8% Service Tax rate, multiply the net amount by 1.08; RM 100 becomes RM 108.00.

Should Sales Tax and Service Tax rates be added together?

No. They apply under different rules and must not be treated as reduced rates of one VAT or automatically combined.
