News & Reviews:   Sales and Service Tax Malaysia

A recently revealed SST (Sales and Service Tax) guidance list from MySST has revealed that smartphones and other handphones will get a 5% SST. While some said that previously before GST, handphones, tablets and laptops were exempted, this list also goes on to reveal that other electronics will get a 10% SST as well. SST is expected to be implemented starting from 1 September 2018 so there is at least a week to get a new smartphone or other electronics like cameras, laptops and audio equipment before we see any price increase due to SST.
