The application of excise duty on premix preparations was initially announced on 29 October 2021 during Malaysia's Budget 2022.
This excise duty is an enlargement of the excise duty imposed on ready-to-drink sugar-sweetened beverages on 1 July 2019, when it first went into effect.
The Royal Malaysian Customs Department (RMCD) published an announcement on March 31, 2022, indicating the expansion of excise duty on sugar-sweetened beverages with a proposed effective date of April 1, 2022.
The announcement is only available in the Bahasa Malaysia language.
To legislate, on 9 September 2022, the Malaysian Government gazetted the following Excise Duties Orders:
Excise Duties (Amendment) Order 2022 [P.U.(A) 287/2022]
Excise Duties (Exemption) (Amendment) (No.2) Order 2022 [P.U.(A) 288/2022]
Excise Duties (Exemption from Licensing) (Amendment) Order 2022 [P.U.(A) 289/2022]
Excise Duties (Premix Preparation) (Payment) Order 2022 [P.U.(A) 290/2022]
Reference
Excise Duties (Amendment) Order 2022 [P.U.(A) 287/2022]
Excise Duties (Exemption) (Amendment) (No.2) Order 2022 [P.U.(A) 288/2022]
Excise Duties (Exemption from Licensing) (Amendment) Order 2022 [P.U.(A) 289/2022]
Excise Duties (Premix Preparation) (Payment) Order 2022 [P.U.(A) 290/2022]
Nevertheless, this proposed provision was subsequently postponed to 1 November 2022.
The objective of this measure is to promote a healthier lifestyle for Malaysians, as pre-mixed producers are likely to take two approaches to this matter:
raise their selling prices to pass on the additional sugar tax entirely and hopefully reduce the demand of the consumption, and
lower the sugar content in their products to below the threshold for excise duty.
