⚠️ Three Major Impacts of Malaysia New Tax Policy

⊗LVG Tax Cost Rise: Malaysia 10% SST on imports under RM500, profit margins on low-price products directly compressed.
⊗Declaration Compliance Pressure: Platform sellers need to cooperate with platform SST withholding at settlement, wrong declaration means heavy fines.
⊗Price Competitiveness Drop: Same product with 10% tax is more expensive than local products, need repricing and marketing strategy.
⊗Complex Refund Mechanism: Some products eligible for import tax exemption, but application process complex, many sellers overpay.
