Sales and Service Tax in Malaysia: Six Months Into 2026
The first half of 2026 was marked by targeted changes to Malaysia’s Sales and Service Tax (SST) regime and continued implementation of the mandatory MyInvois e-invoicing system. The Government introduced relief measures affecting rental and leasing services, construction, agricultural inputs and SMEs, while Phase 4 of the e-invoicing rollout commenced on 1 January 2026. During the period, the Ministry of Finance also reaffirmed that Malaysia will continue operating the SST system and has no plans to reintroduce the Goods and Services Tax (GST).
