[Malaysia Only] Sales and Service Tax (SST)
Since the launch of Carousell in Malaysia, Carousell has absorbed SST charges for all Coin bundles and Seller Tools. In light of the upcoming government-mandated increase in SST from 6% to 8% taking effect on 1st March 2024, we had to make the difficult decision and will no longer absorb the SST charges to keep our business model sustainable.
In order to help with this transition, Carousell will waive SST charges for the first week, and the pricing update will only take effect on 8 March 2024. You can continue to enjoy all paid products at the current price.
Starting 8 March 2024, the following paid products in Malaysia will be subjected to 8% SST:
- Coin bundles
- CarouBiz Subscriptions
- Seller Tools via direct payment by card
How will the price change with this SST inclusion?
While the base price of our Coins and Seller Tools remain unchanged, an additional 8% will be charged and included in the final price at the point of payment.
Will it cost more to purchase Seller Tools (e.g. Bumps, Shoutout, Spotlight) after 8 March 2024?
This would depend on how you choose to pay for your Seller Tools.
There will be no change to the number of Coins needed to purchase any of the Seller Tools. However, if a direct purchase by card is made after 8 March 2024, the purchase will be subjected to SST.
For example, if it costs 39 Coins (approx. RM3.50) to Bump your listing,
