Hey guys,
I just talked to HSBC and Citibank CC advisors. Both also told me that the service tax will only be imposed for those who applied/activate their CCs after Jan 1, 2010. Those CC users before 2010 will not be imposed of such charges. Also, if this service tax were to be implemented, BNM will have to give at least 12mths transition period prior to executing the act, thus on 2011 only.
I have a strong feeling this is true as both banks are sharing similar info. But yet to be convinced as nothing is published to public yet.
Those terminating their CCs might just wanna wait a little while longer though.
