SST in, SST out.
Get the maths right either way.

Add 6% or 8% SST to a net price, or strip it back out of a tax-inclusive total. The trap everyone falls into — the reverse calculation isn't just "multiply by 0.94" — handled correctly here.

SST rate

8% service tax is the most common for B2B services. 6% covers F&B, logistics, telco and a few other specific services. 10% is the standard sales tax on taxable goods.

How the calculator works.

Three fields. No surprises.

  1. Pick

    Pick the direction.

    Add SST if your price is quoted net. Extract SST if the total already includes tax and you need to break it out — the common trap in supplier invoices.

  2. Enter

    Enter the amount and rate.

    6% and 8% cover most Malaysian SST scenarios. 10% is the standard sales tax. Custom handles the rest (zero-rated, reduced, or your own scenarios).

  3. Read

    Read the breakdown.

    Net, SST, and gross — rounded to RM 0.01. Copy the gross straight onto your invoice, or use the net to back-calculate a supplier's margin.

Short FAQ on Malaysian SST.

What's the difference between 6% and 8% service tax?

+
The general service tax rate is 8% (effective 1 March 2024). A 6% rate still applies to specific service groups — F&B operators, accommodation, logistics, telecommunications, parking, and betting/gaming. If you're unsure which bucket you fall into, your SST registration certificate from Customs states it explicitly.

Why isn't reverse SST just "multiply by 0.94"?

+
Because the 8% tax was added on top of the net, not taken off the gross. To reverse 8% SST from RM 108, you divide by 1.08 (= RM 100 net, RM 8 tax), not multiply RM 108 by 0.92 (which gives RM 99.36 — wrong). This calculator does the division for you.

Do I need to register for SST?

+
Service tax: if your taxable services exceed the annual threshold (RM 500K for most categories, RM 1.5M for F&B), registration is mandatory. Sales tax: threshold is RM 500K for manufacturers. Below those, you don't charge SST. Check mysst.customs.gov.my for your specific group.

Is SST the same as GST?

+
No. GST was a broad consumption tax (abolished September 2018). SST is two separate, narrower taxes — Sales Tax on goods at manufacture/import, and Service Tax on specific taxable services. They don't stack, and the input-credit mechanism GST had doesn't apply.

How does SST interact with MyInvois?

+
SST still needs to appear on the invoice as a separate tax line with the right classification code. MyInvois validates that the codes match the registered business activity. If you're SST-registered and not marking it correctly on e-invoices, LHDN will reject. The MyInvois guide covers the mapping.

Can I use this for an invoice?

+
For the maths, yes. But a compliant SST invoice has specific fields beyond the totals — your SST registration number, the tax classification code, and the taxable period. The free invoice generator handles the layout; Kiira's paid plans handle the MyInvois submission.
