Developers’ operational costs expected to rise


Maybank IB said the SST on construction services from July 1, 2025 will add pressure to property developers’ margins for ongoing (sold) projects.

Effective July 1, 2025, construction services for infrastructure, commercial and industrial buildings will be subject to a 6% service tax if the taxable value exceeds RM1.5mil annually.
