and, per The ROYAL MALAYSIAN CUSTOMS DEPARTMENT General Guide on Tourism Tax revised as at 31 August 2017 is withdrawn and replaced by the General Guide on Tourism Tax dated as at 26 September 2017.


IMPOSITION AND RATE OF TOURISM TAX
11. TTx is a tax charged and levied on a tourist staying at any accommodation premises made available by an operator at the rate of tax fixed at RM 10.00 per room per night. It is the duty of the tourist to pay TTx* to the operator.

* TTx defined supra as Tourist Tax

but I'm sure some will think that Hilton rules provide a pretext for violating Malaysian law.




[QUOTE=flyerCO;28906864]Per Honors Reservations the description for an all points award includes fact that all taxes and fees are included.

Also note the property is not even correctly including the tax when booking a cash reservation. The tax should be included by deafault and then removed if exempt by hotel. However they've decided to to leave the tax off and then suprise customers at hotel. They try to justify this by including in email confirmation (which you dont get if booking by phone or through third party) a statement in the announcements section about tax.
