How to detect restaurants that charge service tax
I guess many people still not in the know about Service Tax criteria being raised to annual sales value of RM3 million since last July. This means less restaurants can charge Service Tax of 5%. So, how to check?
Go to Customs Department website and download their list of approved restaurants. From 4800, there’s now only 435 restaurant, and I bet that many of them are in Klang Valley.
So, do spread the news and don’t simply pay 5% extra!
The direct link to the restaurant list (PDF) is here.
According to Customs Department’s boss, there are only few complaints so far. He urged more people to complain instead of highlighting in media (I guess he’s talking about the opinions corner in papers).
To contact Customs Department, you can email them at cd@customs.gov.my or kastam@customs.gov.my
By the way, you don’t have to pay the 5% if no license is displayed. And make sure its a valid license 
Also, you have the right to demand receipt or invoice showing proof of 5% service tax being paid.
