PUTRAJAYA, May 19 — The Royal Malaysian Customs Department has denied issuing a notice regarding outstanding Sales and Service Tax (SST) for investments, which went viral recently.
It said that a letter titled 'Notis Rasmi Tunggakan Caj Perkhidmatan (SST) 8 Peratus Dalam Pelaburan' is a scam misusing the department’s name and official logo to deceive the public into making payments.
“The Customs Department has never issued a letter demanding SST payments regarding the release of investment funds as stated,” the department said in a Facebook post today.
It also reminded the public not to be easily deceived by suspicious letters, calls, or messages using the department’s name, and advised them not to make payments or share personal details with unknown parties.
All official matters must be checked through its official channels, and further confirmation can be obtained through the Customs Call Centre at 1-300-888-500.
