Effective 1 April 2023, Malaysia will be extending Sales Tax to sales of imported goods with a sale value of RM500 or less. Malaysia defines low value goods as “goods or class of goods from outside Malaysia that are sold in the online marketplace at a price of not exceeding RM500 and brought into Malaysia via air, sea or land modes.” The sales tax is charged on the sale value of all low value goods, excluding transportation and insurance costs, as well as any tax or duties, chargeable and payable on the sale.
Any seller with the total sale value of low value goods brought into Malaysia in 12 months who exceeds RM500,000, is liable to be registered as a registered seller.
