QUOTE(nanamizuki @ May 10 2018, 02:19 PM) Haha... i'm also considering to get an iPhone... but 3 months is too long to hold... haish...But one thing that i always thought is... even the new govt have waived the GST, then i dont think the price will drop since the RRP already included (absorb) the GST... for example the price of iPhone X 256GB is RM5899... So the new price will be RM5899 - 6% = RM5545.06, am i rite? As for telco price, it is clear and understood on the prices they quoted are exclusive of 6% GST... so they dont have to revise the price. The only thing is just no need to add the 6% during the checkout... |

I think the way they calculate it will be slightly different, and it probably won't be as simple as just -6%. Well, lets see But one thing that i always thought is... even the new govt have waived the GST, then i dont think the price will drop since the RRP already included (absorb) the GST... for example the price of iPhone X 256GB is RM5899...

No familiar with Sales tax here but it will replace GST right? So effectively, it would be more expensive? 10% vs 6%?

I will just wait for then. It’s not like my iPad 2 is broken or anything of that sort. |

Apple does not revise the price so often. Only once a year. Even if there is any changes in price due to no GST. It may takes a while before it is effective.

Yeah, possibly in September, after the new iPhone announcement.What interests me though, is once the GST is zero-rated, the price of everything should no longer reflect the 6% we see in the tax invoice so by default, wouldn’t most things be automatically cheaper?
