6 Taxation in Malaysia

Taxation in Malaysia

Income of any person including a company, accruing in or derived from Malaysia or received in Malaysia from outside Malaysia is subject to income tax.

However, with e�ect from year of assessment (YA) 2004, income received in Malaysia from sources outside Malaysia by any person other than a resident company carrying on business of banking, insurance, sea or air transport is exempted from income tax.

In SAS, taxpayers are required to declare its income honestly and calculate the tax payable on its own. The responsibility on the tax matters have been shifted to the taxpayers. They are required to have su�cient tax knowledge in order to assess their tax liability correctly and within the timeframe.

The tax rates for YA 2016 are as follows:

Company Tax Resident and non-resident companies Resident companies with paid-up capital of RM2.5 million (US$585,480) and less at the beginning of the basis period for a year of assessment:• on the first RM500,000 (US$117,096) chargeable income • on subsequent chargeable income

7Taxation in Malaysia

Good and Services Tax (GST)

During the 2014 Budget Announcement, the Prime Minister of Malaysia has announced the implementation of a goods and services tax (GST) of 6% commencing on 1 April 2015. The introduction of GST is part of the overall Government tax reform programme towards making the taxation system more e�cient, e�ective, transparent, business friendly and capable of generating a stable source of revenue. GST is to replace the current consumption tax comprising of Sales and Services Tax (SST) to eliminate its inherent weaknesses such as cascading and compounding e�ects, transfer pricing and value shifting, no complete relief on goods exported, discourage vertical integration, administrative bureaucratic red tape, classification issues and etc.

GST, also known as value added tax (VAT) in many countries is a multi-stage consumption tax on goods and services. GST is levied on the supply of goods and services at each stage of the supply chain from the supplier up to the retail stage of the distribution. Even though GST is imposed at each level of the supply chain, the tax element does not become part of the cost of the product because GST paid on the business inputs is claimable. Hence, it does not matter how many stages where a particular good and service goes through the supply chain because the input tax incurred at the previous stage is always deducted by the businesses at the next step in the supply chain.

With GST, businesses can benefit from recovering input tax, thus reducing cost of doing business. 22 General Policies, Facilities and Guidelines GST is a broad based consumption tax covering all sectors of the economy i.e all goods and services made in Malaysia including imports except specific goods and services which are categorised under zero-rated supply and exempt supply orders as determined by the Minister of Finance and published in the Gazette. GST can only be levied and charged if the business is registered under GST. A business is not liable to be registered if its annual turnover of taxable supplies does not reach the prescribed threshold. Therefore, such businesses cannot charge and collect GST on the supply of goods and services made to their customers. Nevertheless, businesses can apply to be registered voluntarily.
