How does SST apply to a Malaysian restaurant POS?
Service Tax of 8% applies to F&B outlets with annual turnover above RM1.5M; Sales Tax does not apply to prepared food. LOOP auto-calculates 8% Service Tax per ticket, files the SST-02 return via the LHDN API, and produces the audit-ready transaction extract.
Key facts
- Service Tax: 8% on F&B above RM1.5M
- Prepared food exempt from Sales Tax
- Auto SST-02 filing
- LHDN-ready audit extract
