## When do I need to charge SST?

Last updated: 14 October 2026 Answer from Robo Company Secretary How we write answers

SST registration depends on the taxable activity and its category-specific rules. There is no single threshold for every business: some categories have none, and voluntary registration can be available below a threshold. Sales tax and service tax operate differently. Check the applicable scope, exemptions, registration date and rate before charging customers.

Review the relevant Customs industry guide alongside the registration rules. Imported taxable services can create obligations even for businesses outside ordinary service-tax registration. Do not assume that being below a turnover threshold means no SST obligations.

### Key facts

- Registration and thresholds depend on activity
- Voluntary registration may be available below threshold
- Check imported-services obligations separately
