Introduction of Goods and Services Tax (GST) in Malaysia

In line with the announcement made by the Malaysian Government, Goods and Services Tax (GST) has been implemented with effect from 01 April 2015. The current rate imposed on all consumption of taxable goods and services is 6%. The previous service tax is no longer applicable to tax invoices issued on and after 01 April 2015. For more information, please visit http://gst.customs.gov.my/en/Pages/default.aspx

We wish to inform that Henry Goh & Co. Sdn Bhd is registered (GST No. 000076152832) with the Royal Malaysian Customs and is required by law to charge and collect GST for remittance to the Customs. All tax invoices issued by us for services rendered will be imposed with GST, where applicable.

Thank you for your attention.

Malaysia joins the Madrid Protocol

 

The wait is finally over! On 27 September 2019, Malaysia deposited with WIPO its instrument of accession to the Madrid Protocol, becoming the 106th member of the Madrid System.

The Protocol will take effect for the country on 27 December 2019. From that date, local brand owners in Malaysia can begin making use of the international registration system to protect their trademarks in over 120 territories of the System’s other 105 (currently) members by filing a single international application and paying a single set of fees.

Likewise, foreign trademark owners can take advantage of the System’s simple designation process to seek protection here.

Malaysia has made declarations to extend the refusal period to 18 months, to receive individual fees, to require a declaration of intention to use the mark and to mandate that the recording of licenses in the International Register shall have no effect in Malaysia unless recorded here.

Stay tuned for more updates from us as we close the year 2019.
