Tax Notice

Tax Clause

According to the tax laws in Malaysia and Kenya, HUAWEI CLOUD updated some clauses in the HUAWEI CLOUD Customer Agreement and Huawei Cloud KooGallery Terms on November 1, 2021, 00:00:00 (GMT+08:00). Major changes are as follows:

• The prices of HUAWEI CLOUD and HUAWEI CLOUD KooGallery services did not include withholding tax before November 1, 2021, 00:00:00 (GMT+08:00). You need to make an extra payment for the withholding tax to competent tax authorities if it is required by the tax laws.
• Since November 1, 2021, 00:00:00 (GMT+08:00), the prices of HUAWEI CLOUD and HUAWEI CLOUD KooGallery services include the withholding tax. When you pay us for HUAWEI CLOUD and HUAWEI CLOUD KooGallery expenditures generated on or after this date, you should withhold/deduct and pay the withholding tax to competent tax authorities, provide a valid withholding tax payment certificate to us, according to the local tax laws and applicable tax treaties and practices.

  For example, if the service fee is $100 USD and withholding tax rate is 8%, you need to withhold 8% of the service fee $100 USD (service tax excluded) and pay $8 USD to competent tax authorities. As our invoice is issued $108 USD in total including 8% Service Tax on Digital Service charged by the Royal Malaysian Customs, you only need to pay net amount of $100 USD to HUAWEI CLOUD calculated as "100 - 8 (WHT) + 8 (service tax)" and provide us the corresponding withholding tax payment certificate within 60 days after withholding tax return. Please note that if your signing entity is Sparkoo Technologies Singapore Pte. Ltd., as the HUAWEI CLOUD entity is a Singapore tax resident and has Tax Residency Certificate, you can apply for the preferential withholding tax rate (i.e. 8% for royalty, 5% for technical fee) per tax treaty between Malaysia and Singapore.

  The example above is for reference only. The actual tax rate or amount may vary according to territories and products. If you have any questions, please submit a service ticket to us.
