PwC lists a sales tax of 10% and a service tax of 8%.

Rates change, and a standard rate is not the whole story. Check with Malaysia's tax authority before you rely on it.

What this page does not cover

Reduced rates, exemptions, registration thresholds, who has to charge the tax, and whether you can charge it at all are not covered here. To work out the tax on one price, use the sales tax calculator. For the basics every invoice needs, see what to put on an invoice.

Questions

What tax rate do I put on an invoice in Malaysia?

Malaysia does not have one standard rate that this page can start your invoice at. PwC lists a sales tax of 10% and a service tax of 8%. Enter the rate that applies to your sale.

Are there reduced rates or exemptions in Malaysia?

Many countries have lower rates or exemptions for some goods and services, and thresholds below which a business does not have to charge the tax. This page gives the standard rate only. Check the source above or ask the local tax authority.

Why does the invoice not start in my currency?

The tool does not guess your currency from the country. Choose it in the settings next to the invoice.
