With SST 2025 changes reshaping how construction work is taxed, this session came at exactly the right time for contractors and finance teams still working through the implications. Lim Chun Meng broke down the expanded scope, transitional rules, and the often-confusing overlap between sales and service tax — before moving into the practical side: taxable construction services, exemptions under Schedule C, retention sums, LAD, and how Design & Build contracts are treated differently from traditional ones. The session closed with hands-on guidance on invoicing, credit/debit notes, and SST return filing, plus a lively Q&A; on reporting obligations to Customs.

Attendees walked away with the clarity and documentation know-how to stay compliant and avoid costly penalties under the new SST landscape.
