Implementation of 6% Service Tax on Education Services for International Students

As of 1 July 2025, Malaysia has implemented a 6% Sales and Service Tax (SST) on Tuition Fees charged to international students. This change is part of a broader fiscal policy affecting various sectors, including education. Alongside this, an adjustment has also been made to the visa processing fees for international students.

What Does the SST Mean for Tuition Fees?
The introduction of SST means that international students enrolling in Malaysian institutions will see a moderate increase in their tuition fees. The additional charge applies to the existing tuition fee amount, varying based on the programme level. Please contact MUCAS support team for more details
