When do I need to charge SST?
Only once your taxable turnover crosses the registration threshold for your category — commonly RM500,000 for taxable services, RM1.5 million for F&B, with manufacturers under sales tax rules instead. Below threshold you neither register nor charge; crossing it triggers mandatory registration and SST on invoices. Rates and scope have shifted in recent budgets, so check your category's current position.
