How Malaysia SST is calculated
Adding SST: multiply the net price by 1.08. A MYR 100 item becomes MYR 108.00 once 8% SST is added.
Removing SST: divide the SST-inclusive total by 1.08. From MYR 108.00 inclusive, the net is MYR 100 and the SST portion is MYR 8.00.
The standard rate is 8%, but reduced or zero rates can apply to particular goods and services. For anything you file or charge, confirm the current rate and rules with the Royal Malaysian Customs Department (JKDM).

- What is the formula to calculate SST in Malaysia?
- SST = net price × 0.08. Price including SST = net price × 1.08. Net price from a SST-inclusive price = inclusive price ÷ 1.08. For MYR 100: SST is MYR 8.00 and the total is MYR 108.00.

- What fraction of a SST-inclusive price is SST?
- 2/27 of a SST-inclusive price is SST at 8% — for example MYR 108.00 inclusive contains MYR 8.00 of SST. Multiply the inclusive price by 2/27 to get the SST in one step.
- How do I remove SST from a price in Malaysia?
