SST 2025: Balancing Fiscal Needs and the People's Burden

Starting 1 July 2025, Malaysia will implement a revised Sales and Service Tax (SST) aimed at strengthening national revenue and improving public services. Essential goods remain exempt, while luxury and imported items face higher tax rates. Six new service sectors, including construction, healthcare, and beauty, will now be taxed. To ease transition, a grace period until 31 December 2025 is provided. The government assures targeted implementation to protect low- and middle-income groups. With e-invoicing to support transparency, this reform marks a bold move balancing fiscal responsibility with public welfare.
