Every ecommerce seller in Malaysia has tax obligations, but the specifics depend on your revenue, business structure, and what you sell. The two main concerns are income tax (which applies to all sellers earning above the personal threshold) and Sales and Service Tax (SST), which kicks in at RM 500,000 annual revenue for taxable goods.
This hub breaks down tax obligations by revenue level, explains SST registration and filing, and covers the accounting requirements that keep Malaysian sellers compliant with LHDN (Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri) and the Royal Malaysian Customs Department.
