TikTok Shop has announced a forthcoming change to its commission policy, effective next week on September 1, 2026. The platform will introduce a 6% SST (Sales Tax) charge on seller shipping fees for various services, including logistics related to delivery, distribution, and transportation of goods. This charge may also apply to unsuccessful order fees, such as forward shipping and return shipping.
The seller shipping fee will be calculated after deducting the platform shipping fee discount and customer shipping fee. Sellers will temporarily bear this 6% SST charge from September 1 to September 6, 2026, to aid their transition. Beginning September 7, sellers will only be charged thereafter. The change comes following TikTok Shop's logistics entity transition from Tokgistics Pte Ltd to TikTok Shop (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, necessitating compliance with local tax requirements.
The shipping fees are based on order creation time, not delivery time, meaning orders created in September won't incur the SST. Sellers should note the potential increase in shipping fees, for instance, a RM3.00 shipping cost would become RM3.18, not accounting for additional fees like the Platform Support Fee, introduced in February.
