Extended SST projected to increase by RM5 billion in 2025 and RM10 billion in 2026

The Sales and Service Tax (SST) in Malaysia is projected to increase by RM5 billion in 2025 and RM10 billion in 2026 due to a review and expansion of its scope, effective July 1, 2025. The revision aims to broaden the national revenue base, with the tax burden targeting higher-income groups. The SST is expected to generate RM51.7 billion in 2025, up from RM46.7 billion. The Sales Tax rate remains unchanged for essential goods, while discretionary and non-essential goods will face rates of 5% or 10%. The Service Tax will now cover additional services, including leasing, construction, financial services, private healthcare, education, and beauty services.
