Introduction
Our Prime Minister 2005 Budget Speech extract :
“… The Government proposes to replace both these
taxes (Sales Tax and Service Tax) with a single
consumption tax, based on the value-added
concept. The new tax, known as the Goods and
Services Tax (GST), will be more comprehensive,
efficient, transparent and effective, thereby
enhancing tax compliance ....”

An Overview of GST
 GST is charged on the taxable supply of goods and
services made by a taxable person in the course or
furtherance of business in Malaysia
 It is a multi stage tax on domestic consumption, similar
to Value Added Tax, levied on taxable supply of goods
and services in Malaysia
 Imposed on majority of goods and services with minimum
exemptions and zero rating
 Based on net value at each stage of business transaction
up to retail stage
 Covers all sectors of the economy
 Relies on invoiced-based tax
 It is a tax on consumption and not on investment
 SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 3
Scope of GST
 The GST is based on destination principle
 Levied at all levels of production and distribution of
goods and services supplied and consumed in Malaysia
Made by the taxable person
In the course of furtherance of any business made by the
taxable person; and
On the importation of goods or services in Malaysia

How GST Works
 The taxable person pays GST or input tax on his
business purchases.
 He then adds value to those goods and services. When
the goods are sold or services are provided, GST or
output tax is collected based on the selling price.
 At the end of his taxable period, he submits his return
declaring the output tax and claiming a credit on the
input tax he paid. (Output tax - Input tax)
 If tax on input exceeds the tax on output (normally zero
rated goods), the difference is refunded

Some thots ….
…. Businesses that had the least problems with the GST
were those that used a computer package .…
…. Businesses that fared the worst relied on the show box
method or a system of their own design ….
…. The most common error relating to input tax credits
arose from not having a system in place to correctly record
the GST charged by suppliers …..
