The Royal Malaysian Customs Department (“RMCD”) has published a guide on sales tax on low value goods (“LVG”) on 3 November 2023. The implementation of sales tax on LVG will be effective from 1 January 2024.
      
LVG are any goods or class of goods (excluding cigarettes, tobacco products, intoxicating liquors, smoking pipes etc.) with a price not exceeding RM500 from abroad sold online by the seller and delivered to customers in Malaysia (e.g. by air, sea or land), and which are subject to sales tax at 10 %. The sales tax is charged on the sale value of LVG not including any tax, duty, fee or other charges such as transportation, insurance or other costs. 
    
Any seller with the total sale value of LVG brought into Malaysia by land, sea or air mode in 12 months exceeding MYR500,000 is liable to be registered as registered seller. A seller may apply for registration and applications shall be made via MyLVG.
