your free drinks validity is only valid for 3 months max.

for the balance itself no problem. but any free drink/doughnut will be forfeit.

Thanks guy!

Oh.. I will need to check it already next week!

Will GST affect reloading starbucks card ?

Bro, starbucks change it to 2 months. I got a free drink 2 days ago and can last till April only...

I expect price increase for beverages and etc but reload wont gua

later frap become rm20....

I think they will increase RM1-RM2. RM20 maybe yes for seasonal beverages Venti size

U are right, reload still the same. when buy only got GST

shouldnt it be extra 6% only ?

feb, mar, apr = 3 mths? no?

I believe there won't be any price increase, because there is currently a GST (Gov Serv Tax) of 6% imposed.

Come April 1st, it will still be 6% GST (Goods and Services Tax).

right, forgot currently already got SST

Current tax that impose one is SST, calculation is different from the later GST.
GST will impose 6% on every stage, from Manufacturer --> WholeSaler/Supplier --> Retail --> Consumer

While current one Sales & Service Tax are impose on service industry(including food/drinks/etc...) which only one stage only, correct me if I am wrong.

As for the price whether will increase or not, it really depends actually....

omg.. 20 for a drink?

I'm not sure this is more shocking or the fact that there are people who would pay that kind of money for a drink.

There will be people that will pay this kind of money.

But I think it is too much for a coffee. It is more expensive than Europe coffee..

yeah the price if rm20 is borderline ridiculous for a drink... i can afford it once in a blue moon.

Yes and is not direct replacement of the tax. I expect the price will increase but I hope I am wrong.

Or get a Blue mountain latte for RM20

6% GST is imposed on every stage - that is correct, but they only "pay" the 6% for the value added by them only for each stage, i.e. they collect and pay to government 6% for their client based on the selling price, but they claim from government the 6% they paid to their supplier.

For example - if they buy their raw material at RM100, and sell at RM150, then they collect RM9 as GST and pay to government , but they will claim RM6 from government and the net is only RM3 (for the RM50 value added by them). Overall, the government will only get 6% from the final price paid by the end user.

But their is the idea case - if every follow the rules.
