OBJECTIVE

Confused about the new Service Tax changes? Do not worry – you are not alone. Starting 1 July 2025, the government has widened the scope of Service Tax (SST) and many businesses are suddenly caught in the net. If you run a business, provide services, or even lease out property, these rules can directly hit your profits.
This course will explain SST in a practical, no-nonsense way – using real-life examples, case studies, and simple language. You will walk away knowing exactly:
• Who needs to register (and who does not)
• Which services and industries are now taxable
• The traps to avoid that could cost you penalties
• How to make use of exemptions and reliefs to save costs
• How audits are done and what Customs officers
really look for

This is not a legal lecture. It is a business survival toolkit.

affected and calculating the tax impact.
