If you’re in the rental or leasing business, there's a major change you need to know:

As of 1 July 2025, rental and leasing services are now subject to the 8% Service Tax (SST) under the government’s newly expanded scope.

🛑What Services Are Affected?

• 🚚 Commercial vehicle leasing (e.g. trucks, vans, forklifts)
• 🏢 Property rental for business use (e.g. short-term office, event space)
• 🔧 Equipment leasing (e.g. machinery, tools, construction assets)
• 🎥 AV, furniture, aircon & generator rental services
• 📦 Storage & warehouse leasing

📉 Real Case Study: Equipment Rental Firm Fined for SST Non-Compliance

 Case Highlight: “They Didn’t Know Rental or Leasing Was Taxable” –  End Up With Costly Mistake💸💸 

They thought, “It’s not a service since they are just renting out items.”
Unfortunately, LHDN viewed it as a taxable leasing service. 

They end up with:
✅ Invoice adjustment to include SST charges 
✅ Late penalty
✅Client dissatisfaction due to sudden price adjustments mid-contract

⚠️ Common Mistakes Businesses Make:

• Thinking rental as a passive income, not taxable service
• Not revising contracts to include SST charges
• Absorbing SST themselves and cutting into margin
• Ignoring SST on add-ons like maintenance or transport
