SST Deregistration Process

Sales and services tax deregistration procedure
The Malaysian government reintroduced the Sales and Services Tax (SST), effective September 1, 2018, to replace the 6% Goods and Services Tax (GST) imposed on all taxable goods and services.
Sales and Services Tax is a simpler, single-tier tax system implemented at the manufacturing and consumer stages. Sales tax is levied on taxable goods manufactured and sold by Malaysian taxpayers, while service tax is imposed on consumers using taxable services. Malaysian businesses must register for SST if they expect the value of their taxable goods and services to exceed RM500,000.
Under the SST system, businesses that were registered for GST and meet the criteria will automatically become SST registrants. If your company is automatically registered for SST but you wish to deregister for certain reasons, you can apply to the Customs Department.
How to deregister from Sales and Services Tax
If your company is registered for sales and service tax but does not provide taxable services or has an income of less than RM 500,000, you can apply to the Royal Malaysian Customs Department to deregister for sales and service tax. If you wish to close the company, you can also apply to deregister for sales and service tax
You need to provide a letter of authorization to the customs department. The reasons for deregistration and the required documents are as follows:
- The industry code (MSIC code) used is incorrect
- Your company's revenue does not reach the RM500,000 threshold
- Your company does not provide taxable goods
- Your company does not provide taxable services
- Company photo
- Registration documents from the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM)
- Invoice sample with explanations
- Special exemptions (FZ/LMW)
- Audited financial statements
- Management account income tax forms (Form C/P/PT/B/M)
All documents must be submitted in hard copy to the customs control station and sent via email to daftarcjcp@customs.gov.my
