office oversupply at KLCC surround 5-10km radius.
i work there ; sometime walking around able to know which office block are empty and seeing new block are building the area.
GST Office definetly will increase the rental ; mostly office has income annual more than 500k annually.
those which has rental contract for 3 year havent expire may not immpact but those going to expire sure will get 6% GST pass to them.
Supply is more than demand; company have choice scouting for lower rental office.
Cutting cost and suppy more in market may trigger those Small Office to shift for a better cost saving.
Atrium not im mine everyday walking coverage sight seeing. Cant comment on this reits.
Also i didnt study read their AR report.
Sometime dont need to study their AR or IB research..but walking around the reits property,

felix,
If u know your GST...
Who are renting those offices? Must be businesses...cannot be Ah Meng Ahmad Ah Singh renting for own stay.
When u are doing business AND registered with Customs for GST, u can CLAIM BACK your GST paid (except for property developers and medical companies/hospitals, those are dealing in GST EXEMPT businesses...don't ask me for further explanation, if u want, go attend GST training

).
E.g.
felix do business sell Felix The Cat merchandises in Malaysia, rents office at UOA Jalan Pinang. Rental paid per month RM50,000. GST on rental is RM3,000. U pay RM53,000 to UOA.
Then u sell goods to customers, total sales RM200,000. GST collected from customers RM12,000.
U pay RM12,000 less RM3,000 = RM9,000 to Customs
The GST is not your cost of doing business. Businesses are merely TAX AGENTS for Jabatan Kastam.
End user i.e. consumers are the ones who bear the GST, cannot claim back. Businesses can claim back.
