If you notice it when you dine out, many places do not charge your 5% sales tax anymore. If you are still charged, do contact the authority about if you are patronising a non-hotel restaurant whose total sales is not more than RM3 million a year.
Here’s the contact details if you are charged service tax by restaurants that are now exempted at cd@customs.gov.my or call 03-88822605/10.
The government has abolished the requirement for such restaurants to pay service tax effective July 1.
All restaurants operating outside hotels were previously required to pay the tax if their individual sales over 12 months exceeded the threshold of RM500,000.
As for restaurants in hotels, they are still required to pay service tax of 5% regardless of their sales amounts.
Restaurants in hotels with 25 rooms or less are only required to pay the 5% tax if their sales values exceed RM500,000 per year.
Do take note.
