In compliance with the Inland Revenue Board (IRBM) mandate which was gazetted in Dec 2023, we would like to announce that we will be implementing electronic invoicing (e-Invoice) starting 1 August 2024. This page provides detailed information about the e-Invoice system, its benefits, and the integration with the IRBM’s e-Invoicing portal called MyInvois.
What is e-Invoice
An e-Invoice is a digital representation of a transaction between a supplier (in this case, UNM) and a buyer (students). e-Invoice replaces paper such as invoices, credit notes, and debit notes.
An e-Invoice contains the same essential information as traditional document, for example, supplier’s and buyer’s details, item description, quantity, price excluding tax, tax, and total amount, which records transaction data for daily business operations.
Benefits of e-Invoice
The implementation of e-Invoice not only provides a seamless experience to taxpayers, but it also improves business efficiency and increases tax compliance. Overall benefits include:
Streamline Operational Efficiency
Record-Keeping and Tax Compliance
Digitalise Tax and Financial Reporting
We understand that this may raise questions or concerns, therefore we have prepared a list of FAQs for your reference.
Our finance team will be available to assist with any inquiries regarding your invoices.
We are committed to ensuring a smooth transition to the e-invoicing system. Please take note of the following:

SST 2025 for Non-Malaysian Students
Effective 1 July 2025 – Sales and Service Tax (SST) at 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@ of Nottingham Malaysia (UNM)
What is SST and why does it matter?
1. What is SST and why is it being applied to tuition fees?
SST stands for Sales and Service Tax, a tax imposed by the Malaysian government on certain goods and services.
Effective 1 July 2025, a 6% Service Tax will be applied to higher education services provided to non-Malaysian citizens, in accordance with the Malaysian Budget 2025 and Ministerial Orders issued on 9 June 2025.
This tax is mandatory and collected by UNM on behalf of the Government of Malaysia.
2. Who is affected by the 6% SST?
The 6% SST applies only to non-Malaysian citizens, including international students and foreign nationals studying at UNM.
Malaysian citizens and permanent residents (with MyKad or MyPR) are not subject to this tax.
3. Will SST be applied to payments made before 1 July 2025?
No. If your tuition and other fees are fully paid before 1 July 2025, SST will not apply, even if the semester begins after that date.
Any new or outstanding payments made on or after 1 July 2025 will be subject to 6% SST.
4. Will SST rates change during my studies?
If SST rates are changed by the Malaysian Government in the future, UNM will comply with the new rate and update students accordingly. This means your fees may increase or decrease depending on any revised rate.
5. Can I claim SST as a tax deduction (e.g. parents or self-employed students)?
If you are a parent who is a Malaysian tax resident, the children’s education relief is a fixed amount and isn’t linked to how much you actually spend. If you are a self-employed student, you may be able to claim personal relief based on your actual education expenses, up to RM5,000 a year. Tax rules can change, so for the latest information we suggest checking with a qualified tax professional or the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN).
Which fees will be taxed?
1. Which fees are subject to the 6% SST?
SST applies to most education-related services for non-Malaysian students, including:
- Tuition fees
- Application, enrolment, and registration fees
- Lab/material fees (where applicable)
- International student fees
- Student letters, transcripts, courier fees
- Reactivation fees and other academic-related charges
2. How does SST apply if I have a scholarship or fee waiver from UNM?
SST is calculated based on the full tuition fee, regardless of any scholarships or waivers received. This means you will be charged 6% SST on the full tuition amount, and any scholarship will be deducted after the tax is applied.
| Description | Amount (RM) | 6% SST (RM) | Total (RM) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Application Fee | 400.00 | 24.00 | 424.00 |
| Tuition Fee – Course A | 30,000.00 | 1,800.00 | 31,800.00 |
| High Achiever Scholarship | (5,000.00) | 0.00 | (5,000.00) |
| Total Payable by Student | 25,400.00 | 1,824.00 | 27,224.00 |
Note: UNM-funded scholarships are also subject to SST under Malaysian tax law.
3. I am a sponsored foreign student. Do I still need to pay the service tax?
If your tuition fees are fully paid by an external sponsor, the SST will also be billed to the sponsor, who is responsible for settling both the tuition and the tax.
Please confirm arrangements with your sponsor.
4. If I am in an inter-campus exchange programme, does SST apply?
If you are enrolled at UNM and paying fees to UNM, SST will apply to your fees if you are a non-Malaysian citizen. If your home campus (UK/China) is billing you, SST will not apply.
5. Are resit or repeat fees subject to SST?
Yes. Any academic-related fees including resits or repeating modules are subject to 6% SST.
6. Does SST apply to short courses, professional development or executive education?
Yes. If these are billed as education services to non-Malaysian citizens, SST applies.
7. Are discounts like the Early Bird Discount affected by SST?
Yes. The 6% SST is applied to the gross tuition fee before discounts, but the SST amount will reduce proportionally with the discount.
| Description | Amount (RM) | 6% SST (RM) | Total (RM) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tuition Fee – Autumn | 30,000.00 | 1,800.00 | 31,800.00 |
| Tuition Fee – Spring | 30,000.00 | 1,800.00 | 31,800.00 |
| Early Bird Discount (1.5%) | (900.00) | (54.00) | (954.00) |
| Total Payable by Student | 59,100.00 | 3,546.00 | 62,646.00 |
You may also refer to our online Fee Calculator to estimate your total fees including SST.
Which fees are exempt from SST?
1. Which fees are not subject to the 6% SST?
The following are exempt from SST:
- On-campus accommodation fees
- Refundable security deposits
- Visa processing fees
- Study trips (local/abroad) not billed as tuition
2. Are exchange students (e.g. from UK/China campus) subject to SST?
No, students under a formal exchange arrangement are not subject to SST, as they are not charged tuition fees by UNM. This is based on our present understanding of the regulations and may be updated if official requirements change.
3. Are there SST exemptions for certain groups (e.g. OKU/disabled students)?
Currently, there are no exemptions under Malaysian tax law for any student category. All non-Malaysian students are subject to SST.
4. Will SST affect my visa or immigration status?
No. SST is purely a financial/tax matter and has no impact on your student visa or immigration status.
How do I calculate and pay SST?
1. How is SST calculated on tuition and application fees?
| Description | Amount (RM) | 6% SST (RM) | Total (RM) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Application Fee | 400.00 | 24.00 | 424.00 |
| Tuition Fee – Course A | 30,000.00 | 1,800.00 | 31,800.00 |
| Total Payable | 30,400.00 | 1,824.00 | 32,224.00 |
2. I haven’t received my fee statement. How do I know how much to pay?
You can check your student portal for billing details or contact the Finance Office at finance-office@nottingham.edu.my. Please ensure your email address in the student system is up to date.
3. How will SST affect instalment payments?
SST will be applied to each instalment. For example, if your instalment is RM5,000, an additional RM300 (6%) will be charged as SST. You can view instalment schedules on your student portal or reach out to Finance for clarification. If your instalment covers more than one type of service, some of which are not subject to SST, the calculation will be adjusted accordingly.
4. Can I pay the SST separately from my tuition fee?
No. SST is part of the total bill and must be paid together with tuition and related fees.
5. How does currency conversion affect SST calculations?
SST is calculated in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR). For international payments, currency fluctuations may affect the final amount paid in your local currency. Please check with your bank or payment provider for the latest conversion rates.
6. Is SST refundable if I withdraw?
No. SST is a government tax and non-refundable under any circumstances. However, your tuition refund (if applicable) will follow UNM’s standard policy.
