Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

We’re here to address some of the questions you might have before you reach out to us

General

1. Is Takaful meant for Muslims only?

No. Takaful is catered to all races and religion and individuals who are interested to invest for security and protection for their loved ones.

2. How is Takaful different from insurance?

Takaful is based on the concept of mutual co-operation where participants mutually agree to help each other in times of need. A portion of the contributions paid by each participant is kept as Tabarru’ Fund (risk fund) and the pool of money in the fund will be used to pay for claims made by fellow participants. This is where the ‘helping each other’ concept comes in. In this case, a Takaful operator acts as the manager of the fund and not owner of the fund. Any excess in the risk fund will be distributed back to the eligible participants.

Whereas insurance policies are sold by the insurance company where the money is pooled in the risk fund owned by the insurance company and claims are paid from this fund. Policyholders of insurance plans do not share a pool of money to help other policyholders in need. An insurance policyholder takes up a plan with the insurance company to protect himself, his loved ones or his possessions only.

When is the implementation of Sales and Service Tax (SST)?

The Ministry of Finance (MoF) announced that Sales and Service Tax (SST) which administered by the Royal Malaysian Customs Department (RMCD) will come into effect in Malaysia on 1 September 2018. Service tax is imposed on specific prescribed services provided by a taxable person in the course or furtherance of a business in Malaysia. More info about SST can be found at https://mysst.customs.gov.my. In PruBSN, only Service Tax (ST) will be imposed on the contribution amount of all types of Takaful certificates where the participant is a corporate entity.

What types of PruBSN certificates that are affected by ST?

Service Tax (ST) is chargeable on the contribution amount of all types of certificates where the participant is a corporate entity excluding registered education organization and registered religious organization. Details as per table below:

Participant

Service tax rate applicable

  • Individual

  • Registered education institution

  • Registered religious organisation

Not subject to service tax

  • Business organisations

    (Example: Keyman certificates, group business)

6% service tax on actual contribution paid

How much ST to be charged?

The applicable ST rate is 6% on top of actual contribution paid.

Will the contribution amount increase due to this ST?

Yes, there will be additional 6% ST on top of the contribution amount for all the corporate certificates impacted by ST.

Example, if the monthly contribution of keyman/group business certificate is RM100, the amount to be paid effective 1 September 2018 will be RM106.

Will there be notification of increment in contribution for the affected certificate?

Yes, PruBSN will send a notification letter to all customers to inform about the applicability of ST in contribution to the affected corporate certificates (additional 6% on top of the contribution amount) in month of September 2018.

Will the certificate be affected if the contribution was paid in advance prior to 1 September 2018 during the tax holiday from 1 June 2018 to 31 August 2018?

The individual certificates will not be affected. For all advanced payment made (during the tax holiday) for the corporate certificate span over 1 September 2018 is chargeable for 6% ST. All corporate certificates are required to pay ST for contribution paid after 1 September 2018. However, PruBSN is absorbing the service tax imposed on advance payment made prior to 1 September 2018.

If the annual contribution was due and paid prior to 1 Jun 2018 (with 6% GST) for the certificate cover period extended after 1 September 2018, how will ST impact the certificate?

ST is not chargeable if you have paid your contribution with 6% GST.

Does ST apply if the outstanding contribution is not up to date and I wish to make payment on/after 1 September 2018?

Yes, ST will be applied when you make payment on/after 1 September. However, 6% GST will still be applied for outstanding contributions prior to 1 June 2018.

Example: Certificate incepted: 1 Jan 2018 Certificate contribution is outstanding from month April 2018 up to August 2018 Monthly contribution is RM100/-

Contribution due from 1 April till 31 May - subject to 6% GST = RM200
Contribution due from 1 June till 31 August – subject to 0% GST =RM300
Contribution due on/after 1 September 2018 – subject to 6% ST =RM100 + 6%

Therefore, for this example you have to pay for total amount of RM606 in month of September 2018. However, PruBSN is absorbing the service tax imposed on payment made in month of September 2018

Any ST refund if the certificate is cancel within free look period after 1 Sept 2018?

PruBSN will refund the sum of ST that have been deducted, if you decide not to continue with the certificate and cancel the certificate within fifteen (15) days from the date of delivery of the certificate.

Does ST apply to individual certificate that has been assigned to a corporate business after 1 September 2018?

No, the ST is not applicable to individual certificate as the individual is still the owner of the certificate.

Is there any service tax invoice to be issued to customer?

Yes, the invoice is made available upon request. You may call us at 03-20537188 or email us at customer@prubsn.com.my to request for a copy.
