Key messages

SST 2.0 the comeback kid

• SST will be reintroduced on 1 September 2018 to replace GST
• Proposed sales tax (10%, 5% and a specific rate for petroleum) and 6% for service tax
• Taxable threshold set at annual revenue of RM500,000 (except for eateries and restaurants at RM1 million)

Refined version of SST in terms of scope and coverage

• Single-stage tax is levied on manufacturers and importers
• Narrower compared to GST though slightly wider than old SST
• Mixed reactions for consumers and businesses
• Shortfall of budget revenue collection of RM23 billion

Smooth transition and implementation of SST is the key

• Continuous stakeholders’ consultations on the technical and compliance aspects of SST during the transitional period
• Dissemination of price information and enhance consumer awareness
• Step up price surveillance and enforcement of unreasonable price increases
