Sales and Service Tax (SST)
SST (Sales and Service Tax) is a tax imposed on certain goods and services in Malaysia. Starting October 1, 2025, the scope of SST will expand to include more financial services, including those related to unit trusts and private mandates.
Management services provided by KIB, KIIB, and EQ8 only (registered entities) - such as advisory, portfolio management, and administrative services, may now be subject to an 8% service tax. This could increase the overall cost of managing your investment.
Yes. If KIB/KIIB/EQ8 or any service provider offers taxable services, the SST will be included in the fees you pay. This means your total investment cost may increase slightly.
For other fees charged by external parties (e.g., Bursa Malaysia or custodians), SST may apply in accordance with the guidelines issued by The Royal Malaysian Customs Department ("RMCD").
Yes, potentially. The SST expansion may apply to: Brokerage fees: Generally subject to service tax under the expanded scope of SST, unless specifically exempted under prevailing legislation or guidelines issued by the RMCD. Custodian fees: These may be subject to SST if they are charged as part of a fee-based service model. No specific exemption has been announced for custodian services as of now.
Not all. Within our scope, fee-based services such as investment advisory and portfolio management are subject to SST. For details on exemptions applicable to other industries or services, please refer to the official guidelines from The Royal Malaysian Customs Department ("RMCD").
Service costs may generally increase due to the service tax. However, the actual impact on your investment returns will depend on several factors, including your investment size, the fee structure of your fund, and its overall performance.
Invoices or e-invoices will show Service Tax as a separate line item, in accordance with Service Tax Regulations.
