Documents Required for SST Registration in Malaysia

What You Need to Register for SST in Malaysia

The documents required for SST registration in Malaysia depend on whether you are registering as a resident business through MySST or as a non-resident digital service provider through MySToDS.

For non-resident digital service providers (SToDS via MySToDS)

The following information and documentation are typically required to complete registration on the MySToDS portal:

• Company name and registered business address (outside Malaysia)

• Country of incorporation

• Business registration number (from your home country)

• Nature of digital services provided (brief description)

• Contact person's name, email address, and phone number

• Estimated annual revenue from digital services provided to Malaysian customers

• Bank account details for tax remittance purposes (international accounts accepted)

• Authorized signatory details

No Malaysian local representative or agent is required for SToDS registration. The entire process is completed online through the MySToDS portal.

For resident businesses (Standard SST via MySST)

Resident businesses registering under the standard SST scheme typically need to provide:

• Business registration documents (e.g., Companies Commission of Malaysia / SSM registration certificate)

• Business name and address

• Nature of taxable services or goods supplied

• Estimated annual revenue from taxable services or goods

• Contact person details

• Bank account information

• Tax Identification Number (TIN), if applicable

General tips for a smooth registration

• Make sure your business address and contact details are accurate and match your official registration documents.

• If your revenue is in a foreign currency, be prepared to convert amounts to Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) using a consistent exchange rate.

• Keep a copy of your MySToDS registration confirmation, as it contains your Foreign Registered Person (FRP) number, which you will need for filing returns and issuing compliant invoices.

After registration

Once your registration is approved, RMCD will assign an effective registration date. You are only required to charge SST on transactions from that effective date onward. Past sales are not subject to retroactive tax obligations unless covered under a voluntary disclosure or back filing scenario.
