Service Tax Exemptions for Rental and Leasing Services: Key Amendments Effective January 2026

  • A 2% service tax exemption on rental or leasing services is granted until relevant legislation is updated.
  • Service tax exemption for tenants is expanded to include medium-sized enterprises, with the MSME annual sales threshold raised to MYR 1.5 million.
  • The exemption’s effective date for MSMEs depends on MyPMK system registration: retroactive from 1 July 2025 for registrations by 31 December 2025, or for one year from registration if after 1 January 2026.
  • Newly established MSMEs receive a one-year service tax exemption on rental/leasing services from their SSM registration date, subject to registration and income tax declaration requirements.
