If your company is registered for SST (Sales and Service Tax), you can enable and configure it in Bukku to apply SST tax codes when recording transactions such as invoices and purchases.

Setting up SST in Bukku ensures your transactions apply the correct tax treatment while keeping your documents aligned with SST requirements. Once activated, you can easily apply tax codes, set defaults, and have your SST information automatically reflected in your invoices and other documents.

To configure SST, go to:

Control Panel > Company Settings > Tax

Below are the available settings to help tailor SST handling to your business needs.

You can activate the relevant SST type for your business, such as Sales Tax (SST) and Service Tax (SST).

Tick the applicable option(s) under:

Once activated, enter your SST Tax ID in the Sales Tax ID or Service Tax ID field.

The SST Tax ID will automatically appear on your invoice PDF and other documents.

This setting applies to Service Tax only.

By default, Service Tax is recorded on a payment basis (tax is recognised when payment is received).

Turn this on if your Service Tax follows the invoice (accrual) basis, where tax is recognised when the invoice is issued.

Toggle Exempted Tax Codes on or off to show or hide additional tax codes for tax-exempt transactions when creating transactions.

After enabling Exempted Tax Codes, you can enter the details of your tax exemption if applicable.

This may include buyer’s sales tax exemption certificate number, special exemption under gazette orders or other approved exemption references.

This information will be automatically included in your e-Invoice submission.

Below is an example of how the exemption details will appear in MyInvois Document after submission.

This setting determines whether item prices include tax.

This can still be overridden at the invoice level.

Summary:

These defaults will apply when creating new transactions and new products or services. This is a company-wide setting.

Product-Level Override

You can also set default tax codes under the Products & Services module.

If a product has its own tax code:

Once everything is set up:

Note: Refer to the Malaysia SST Tax Codes in Bukku guide for a full list of SST codes, including rates, purposes, and SST-02 mappings.

Q1: Where do I enter my SST Tax ID so it appears on the invoice/letterhead?

You can enter your SST Tax ID at:

Control Panel > Company Settings > Tax

After activating Sales Tax (SST) or Service Tax (SST), enter your SST Tax ID in the respective Sales Tax ID or Service Tax ID field.

Once entered, the SST Tax ID will automatically appear on your invoice PDF and other documents.

Q2: Where should I set my default tax code?

You can set default tax codes in two places, depending on your preference:

If both are set, the product-level tax code will override the company-wide setting when the item is selected.

Q3: How can I display a tax summary breakdown by tax code on my PDF invoices?

You can enable the tax summary table in your form design to display a breakdown of taxes by tax code on your PDFs.

Go to Control Panel > Form Design, select your form and click View, then toggle on Tax Summary under the Summary Table section.

Q4: How can I show the tax code column in my PDF invoices?

You can enable the tax code column in your form design to display tax codes for each item on your PDFs.

Go to Control Panel > Form Design, select your form and click View, then toggle on Tax Code under the Item Columns section.

Q5: Why is my Service Tax not recorded when I issue an invoice?

By default, Service Tax is based on payment basis, meaning tax is only recognised when payment is received.

If you want tax to be recognised when issuing the invoice, enable:
​“Enable Invoice Basis Service Tax” at Control Panel > Company Settings > Tax

Q6: Some of my invoices are subject to SST, while others are exempt under the B2B exemption. Will the SST-02 report capture this correctly?

Yes. Bukku supports SST exempted tax codes, which can be enabled under Control Panel > Company Settings > Tax > Exempted Tax Codes.

Once enabled, you can select the relevant exempted tax code when creating invoices.

All transactions will be reflected in the SST-02 report based on the tax codes applied, ensuring both taxable and exempted sales are reported accurately.
