Finalise short-term rental guidelines soonest, urge hotels group


KUALA LUMPUR: The guidelines for short-term rental accommodation (STRA) must be finalised as soon as possible to provide a level playing field to all tourist accommodation premises, says the Malaysian Association of Hotels Kuala Lumpur (MAH KL).

The association said this was due to the nature of STRA, which allows owners to avoid various taxes such as SST or Tourism Tax for the hospitality accommodation industry.
