Now for SST, we have at least 5 categories: 0%, 5%, 6%, 8% and 10%
Why can't we just condense it all, and tax EVERYTHING under a singular Goods and Services tax rate? From an implementation, tax compliance and tax policing perspective, isn't this going to be easier?
For consumers also, you pay tax as you consume. Don't have this bullshit that this item exempted, that item exempted etc. That provides so much room for leakages to occur.
Which brain dead idiots run these policies?
answer is simple.
Legacy.
Because the powers that be if they want to keep GST, then people will not remember current ruling party for their success but they will remember the incumbent for his success.
Just like how DLP is being slowly diminished.
For me, is ok no issue, whatever pass govt does, if 1 or 2 is good, just keep it and continue.
Like DLP and GST. Obvously GST was abused during Bijian time, refunds didn't happen as supposed to, and they delayed that.
Bijian - did good in GST but implemented badly in terms of refunds
Mamakthir - did well in DLP
Moo Moo and useless Puas Takoyaki - did what? Postpone parliament everyday, sampah party.
