Contract details and implementation period
According to The Edge Malaysia, as reported in the company's exchange filing on Tuesday, the new contract extension takes effect from 16 Oct 2026 to 15 Oct 2028 and does not include an automatic renewal clause.The agreement covers maintenance work and licence renewals for the MyGST system, the Customs Department's legacy online system for administering the goods and services tax, GST. GST was Malaysia's broad-based consumption tax from April 2015 until its abolition in September 2018.
Although the current sales and service tax system, SST, is now administered through MySST, the MyGST system continues to be used to support other tax administration matters, meet statutory and legal requirements, and facilitate the agency's work procedures.
