- The Royal Malaysian Customs Department released an updated Guide on Management Services on 18 July 2025, replacing the 2021 edition. The Guide, available only in Malay, reflects changes in management services regulations and operations, aligning with legislative amendments and expanding service tax scope. Key updates include a service tax rate increase from 6% to 8% effective 1 March 2024, and a more structured classification of taxable management services. Categories like project management and secretarial services remain taxable, with artist management services explicitly listed. Some services have been reclassified or removed due to new service tax groups effective 1 July 2025. Additionally, logistics management services are now taxable under new categories from 26 February 2024.
