How SST works

Malaysia's SST has two parts. Service tax is 8% for most services (6% for food and beverage, telco and a few others). Sales tax on goods is 5% or 10%.

Choose whether your amount is before tax or already includes it.

How it's calculated

For a tax-exclusive amount, tax is amount × rate. For a tax-inclusive amount, we work backwards to separate the base and the tax.
