GST on Hold Until RM4,000 Income Threshold
The Malaysian government announced that the Goods and Services Tax (GST) will not be reinstated until the median household income rises to at least RM4,000 per month. Officials say this threshold ensures the tax does not burden low‑income families and will be reviewed once the income level is consistently met.
Malaysia’s finance ministry says GST will stay suspended until the average monthly income hits RM4,000. The move aims to protect low‑earning households from additional tax pressure.
- No GST reintroduction until the income threshold is reliably reached.
- Policy will be re‑evaluated once the RM4,000 benchmark is consistently met across the country.
