Dear All new prospects,
We wish to inform you that, effective 1 September 2025, the Malaysian government will implement an expansion of the Sales and Service Tax (SST) to include private education services provided to International (non-Malaysian) students.
As a brief overview, SST refers to Sales Tax and Service Tax, which are consumption taxes imposed on certain goods and services. The cost is borne by the consumer, while businesses collect and remit the tax to the government.
The Service Tax will be charged at a rate of 6% and applies to fees related to education services, including but not limited to:
(a) tuition fees
(b) registration fees
(c) admission charges
(d) co-curricular charges
(e) books and study materials charges;
(f) teaching aids/facilities charges; or
(g) any other charges or fees relating to education imposed by the institution.”
Should there be any further update from Government authorities, we will keep you informed in a timely manner.
A Debit Note (DN) for the 6% SST will be issued for all invoices dated 1 September 2025 onwards. Please take note of this change and inform your relevant departments accordingly.
Should you require further clarification or supporting documents, please feel free to reach out.
Thank you
