What Is It?
SST registration confirms your company as a taxable person with the Royal Malaysian Customs Department (RMCD). Once your taxable turnover crosses the registration threshold, you are required by law to register, so you can legally charge Sales Tax or Service Tax on applicable goods and services.
Register for SST with confidence
Why You Need It
- Registration is mandatory once your taxable turnover exceeds the threshold set by RMCD. Operating without it exposes your company to penalties.
- You cannot legally charge or collect SST from customers without being a registered taxable person.
- Late registration means backdated liability. RMCD can assess tax from the date you should have registered, not the date you actually did.
What You'll Need
- SSM business registration details and registration number
- Business address
- Director/owner identification documents
- Bank account details
- Financial records confirming turnover meets the threshold
- Description of business activity
