SALES TAX ADVISORY
Sales tax 2.0 was implemented with effect from 1 September 2018 to replace the existing Goods and Services Tax (GST). It is a single-stage tax imposed on taxable goods manufactured locally by a registered manufacturer, and on taxable goods imported by any person. The sales tax rate is 5%, 10%, or a specific rate for petroleum-related products. Goods are taxable unless they are specified in the sales tax exemption orders.

Unlike Service Tax, manufacturers need to incur sales tax upfront upon the importation of goods and sales of goods, resulting in cash flow implications.
