10.3 Import Service Treatment :
GST on Imported Services (Sec 13) is accounted by way of the reverse charge mechanism.
Reverse Charge Mechanism (also known as Self Recipient Accounting-RSA)
A supplier who does not belong in Malaysia and supplies services to a customer in Malaysia does not have to charge
GST. However, the customer who received the services is required to account for GST by a reverse charge mechanism.
The recipient have to pay tax for the imported services he received and the same time claim input tax in his GST
return. Reverse charge mechanism is an accounting procedure where a recipient (as the customer) of the supply, acts
as both, the supplies and the recipient of the services.
Video Guide Link: http://www.sql.com.my/video/sqlacc_tutorial/GST-21-Imported_Services(RSA).mp4

Example:
1. Royalty fee charged in Malaysia by non resident business situated outside Malaysia from Jan - Dec 2016 = USD
200,000
2. Date of invoice = 10 March 2016
3. Bank prevailing rate = Rm2.50 (Date: 10 March 2016)

Calculation for GST:

1. Consideration for the supply @Rm2.50 = Rm500,000.00 + GST 6%
2. GST to be accounted by recipient @6% GST = Rm30,000.00

RSA:
Account GST output = Rm30,000.00
Claim GST Input = Rm30,000.00

Time of Supply
1. When supply are paid for (Date of payment made) - no longer
2. Since 01 Jan 2016, which ever is the earlier:-
a. Payment made; or
b. Invoice date.

Step 1 : Make sure you have create a tax coder which under RSA and Tax type is under Easy GST- Recipient Self-
Accounting, Input Tax = TX, Output Tax = DS.

this GST Tax under DS as output Tax, the tax amount will auto capture.

Step 6

$ 42,Kastam rules will according to the previous Gift amount and
sum up total X 6%,whenever the figure exceed $ 500 and above.

10.5 Cent Rounding :
The total GST payable on all goods and services shown on a tax invoice may be rounded off to the nearest whole
cent (i.e. two decimal places). With the discontinuation of the issuing of 1 cent coins, some businesses may round
their bills to the nearest 5 cents to facilitate cash payment by their customers. Whether a bill should be rounded up or
rounded down to the nearest 5 cents is a business decision.

When a tax invoice contains several line items of standard-rated supplies, the total GST amount on your invoice may
be computed based on:
Summing the GST amount for each line item; or
Total amount payable (excluding GST) for all line items x 6%
The total GST amount computed may differ due to the method used. Both methods of computing the total GST
amount are acceptable so long as you apply the chosen method consistently.

Example:
You are a stationery retailer. Your customer purchased 3 pens and pay for all her items collectively. The tax invoice
issued to your customer will contain the following 3 line items.
Item Amount payable ( excluding GST) GST Amount for each item
Green Pen RM 1.77 RM 0.11 (0.1062)
Red Pen RM 1.77 RM 0.11 (0.1062)
Blue Pen RM 1.77 RM 0.11 (0.1062)
Method 1: GST is computed based on summing the GST amount for each line item:
Total GST amount = RM0.11 + RM0.11 + RM0.11 = RM 0.33

Method 2: GST is computed based on total amount payable (excluding GST) for all line items X 6%
Total GST amount = (RM 1.77 + RM 1.77 + RM 1.77) X 6% = RM 0.3

Video Guide link: http://www.sql.com.my/video/sqlacc_tutorial/GST-15_BadDebt.mp4

What is 6 Months “Bad Debt” Relief?

A GST registered business can claim bad debt relief (GST Tax amount paid earlier to Kastam) if they have not
received any payment or part of the payment from their debtor after 6 th months from the date of invoice. The business
should also have made sufficient efforts to recover the debt. Look at the scenario A below:
Company issued an Invoice at 15th January 2016. The 6th month expires as at end of 15th June 2016. The bad debt
relief must be claimed immediately in July taxable period.

The definition of “Bad Debt” in this scenario is NOT the outstanding amount has been written off from the accounts.
It is just a mechanism use by Kastam to help business recover the output tax they have paid earlier, which customer
not fully /partially pay the outstanding. In more simple way, is the customer delay their payment.
What happen if the bad debt relief not claimed immediately after the export 6th month? The taxable person must apply
in writing for Director General’s (DG) approval on his intention to claim at such later date.

What is 6 Months “Bad Debt” Recover?

When a GST registered business have recovered the amount be it full or partial from their debtor, they must pay back
to Kastam the GST Tax amount that have claim as Bad Debt Relief earlier. This GST tax amount will be calculated in
proportion to the payment recovered from debtor. Refer scenario B :
Invoice issued at 15th January 2016. The 6th month expires at the end of Jun and the bad debt relief claim in July.
Payment recovered from debtor in 20th December 2014. Then Bad Debt recovered GST must be paid immediately in
December taxable period.

WARNING : “Bad Debt” goes both ways. If you dint pay your supplier, then 6 months later you must payback
Kastam then input tax that your business have claim earlier
