The first step to being GST-ready is to register for a GST identification number. You need to check whether you are required to register or whether you want to register voluntarily. 

Persons having businesses with annual sales turnover exceeding RM500,000 are liable to be registered under GST. Persons include an individual, sole proprietor, partnership, company, trust, estate, society, union, club, association or any other organization including a government department or a local authority which is involved in the business of making taxable supplies in Malaysia.

The annual sales turnover can be determined based on either:

- The total value of taxable supplies of the current month and the previous 11 months, or

- The total value of taxable supplies of the current month and the next 11 months.

You also need to decide on the type of registration best for your business:

- Voluntary Registration

- Group Registration

- Divisional/Branch Registration

Deregistration

You must apply for deregistration of your business within 30 days from the date of the following circumstances when:

- Your business has ceased

- No longer fulfill the requirements of registration

Voluntary Registration

Any person making a taxable supply and having an annual sales turnover RM500,000 and below is not required to be registered. However, you may voluntarily apply for registration. Voluntary registration is allowable but must remain in the system for at least 2 years.

Once registered, you are required to charge and collect GST on the taxable supplies and at the same time are entitled to claim input tax credit and eligible to enjoy all facilities provided under the law.
