SST return and SST audit

Purpose

  • Build an SST-02 for a taxable period, check the tax payable, and list the supply and purchase lines behind it.
  • KinraSoft calculates the return from posted documents and writes an SST Return journal (SSTP). You review the figures here, then file SST-02 with Royal Malaysian Customs yourself. KinraSoft does not lodge the return.

Menu path

  • Maintain Tax → SST, then:
  • List and process returns: SST Return.
  • Line-by-line SST listing: SST Audit.
  • Company SST date and accounts: SST Setup. See SST/GST.
  • SST Return Listing toolbar: Open, Delete, SST Audit, New SST Return.

Assistant

  • No live wizard. Ask “how to process SST return” or “how to run SST audit” for this chapter.
  • The Assistant does not file an SST return, and it does not run SST Audit. Use these screens. See Screen vs KinraSoft Assistant.

Before you start

  • SST Effective Date is saved. Without it, New SST Return shows SST Not Setup. See SST/GST.
  • The Current Tax Schedule is set, and invoices, cash sales, bills, and expenses in the period use those codes. See Maintain Tax, Sales invoice, and Purchase invoice.
  • The period you want is posted. A return only picks up documents already saved.

Process a new SST return

  • Maintain Tax → SST → SST Return.
  • Click New SST Return.
  • Check Process From. It is locked. First return: the SST Effective Date. Later returns: the day after the previous return’s end date.
  • Set To. The date picker uses months and snaps to the last day of the month you pick. Description becomes SST Return from the from-date to the to-date. Process Date is set to that To date (you can change Process Date; it opens on today until To changes).
  • Edit Description if you want different wording on the listing.
  • Click Process.
  • On success you return to SST Return Listing and see New SST Return Generated successfully.
  • Click Process. There is no separate Save. Processing writes the SST-02 and the SSTP journal.
  • Process To Date cannot earlier than Process From Date.
  • The screen stops a span longer than two months: Process time cannot be more than 2 months.
  • Process From Date cannot earlier than SST Start Date. Fix SST Setup or wait until the locked Process From is on or after the effective date.
  • If Process From, To, or Process Date is empty, KinraSoft says Please specify document date!

Find a return

  • SST Return.
  • Optional Start Date and End Date (month pickers: start snaps to the 1st, end snaps to the last day).
  • Type: leave blank, or choose All or Cancelled.
  • Click Search (F9).
  • Columns: proDate (process date), description, dateFrom, dateTo, sstPayable, Cancelled.

Open SST-02

  • Select the return.
  • Click Open, or double-click the row.
  • SST-02 Return opens in a new window.
  • PART B1 : SALES / SERVICE DETAILS shows one row per tariff / service type:
  • (5) No. — line number.
  • (6) — description of taxable goods, or type of taxable service.
  • (7) — Customs tariff code, or service type code.
  • (8) — value of taxable goods sold, or value of work performed.
  • (9) — value of goods for own use / disposed, or value of free services.
  • (10) — value of taxable service.
  • PART B2 To PART E is the SST-02 item list (item and amount), including:
  • 11a — taxable goods at 5% (value, then tax payable).
  • 11b — taxable goods at 10% (value, then tax payable).
  • 11c — taxable services other than Group H (value, then tax payable).
  • 12 — total value of tax payable.
  • 13 — tax deducted from credit note / contra tax.
  • 14 — total tax payable before penalty.
  • 15 — penalty rate / penalty amount.
  • 16 — total of tax payable inclusive penalty.
  • 18a through 21 — export, schedules, and exempt raw-material / work lines.
  • Rows 11c (tax payable) and 13 are highlighted yellow. Row 16 is highlighted orange.
  • Click an item row to open SST-02 field listing (the documents in that figure). Rows 12, 14, 15, and 16 do not open a field listing. They are totals.
  • Use SST Return Listing on the SST-02 toolbar to go back. New SST Return starts another period.

SST audit

  • From a return: on SST Return Listing, select the row, then click SST Audit. The audit opens for that return’s dateFrom and dateTo.
  • From the menu (any dates): Maintain Tax → SST → SST Audit. Set Start Date and End Date. Click Search.
  • Supply tab: customer, customer BRN, customer SST no., date, invoice no., K1 form no., line, description, amount, SST amount, tax code, currency.
  • Purchase tab: supplier, supplier BRN, supplier SST no., date, posting date, invoice no., K1 form no., line, description, amount, SST amount, tax code, currency.
  • Click Print PDF when you need a copy for the file or for Customs.
  • The audit is a check list of taxed lines. It does not replace SST-02. Use SST-02 for the amounts you file. Use the audit when a Part B total looks wrong.

Delete a return

  • Select the row on SST Return Listing.
  • Click Delete.
  • Confirm Delete plus the description.
  • KinraSoft cancels the SST process, the SST-02, and the SSTP journal (and the ledger lines posted from that return).
  • Delete removes the return from the live set and cancels its journal. Search Type = Cancelled to see the cancelled row. Process the period again only after you have corrected the documents.

Key points

  • Process From is locked so periods follow each other.
  • One process covers at most two months on this screen.
  • SST-02 is the form. The audit is the supporting lines.
  • Filing with Customs is outside KinraSoft. Pay the Payable (Kastam) balance from the cash book when you pay. See Cash book payment and receipt and SST/GST.

If something goes wrong

  • SST Not Setup. Maintain Tax → SST → SST Setup. Enter SST Effective Date and Save. See SST/GST.
  • Process time cannot be more than 2 months. Shorten To so the period is within two months. Process the next block as the next return.
  • Process To Date cannot earlier than Process From Date. Pick a To date on or after Process From.
  • Process From Date cannot earlier than SST Start Date. Process From is before SST Effective Date. Correct the setup date only if no return should exist yet, or start from the locked from-date.
  • Please specify document date. Fill To and Process Date. Process From should already be filled when SST is set up.
  • SST payable looks too low or too high. Open SST-02 and click the item (not 12, 14, 15, or 16). Compare with SST Audit Supply / Purchase. Fix the source invoice or bill, delete this return, then Process again.
  • No record selected. Click the return row before Open, Delete, or SST Audit.
  • Journal still in the books after delete. Filter Journal Entry to SST Return and include cancelled documents. A successful delete cancels the SSTP journal. See Journal entry.
