For group G to I, the definition on taxable services is only for those person mentioned, and that they are providing the taxable service mentioned in the taxable services column will be liable to register SST if the value of their taxable services exceeds the threshold.
The calculation of value of taxable services for Group G to I is calculated separately (for further detail on what each group comprises of, please refer to the custom's official guide). However, the taxable services within the same group will still need to be combined as a total value of taxable services under the group and if exceeds the threshold for registration within a 12 months period, the person will be liable to register under the Service Tax 2018.
For example:
Example 1
See Sdn Bhd provides accounting services (Group G) and IT services (Group I). The service value for accounting service is RM600,000 and IT service is RM300,000. The calculation for value taxable service will be Group G equal to RM600,000 and Group I (equals to RM300,000). See Sdn Bhd will only be liable to register for providing Group G services but not for Group I as only services under Group G exceeds the registration threshold of RM500,000.
Example 2
Tee Sdn Bhd provides engineering services (Group G) and architectural services (Group G). The service value for engineering services is RM400,000 and architectural services is RM350,000. The calculation of value taxable services will be combined as both are under the same group - Group G (equals to RM750,000). Tee Sdn Bhd will be liable to register for both engineering and architectural services provision.
