Even GST they cannot do it well.
Inclusive, exclusive, zero so messy.

Why cannot just be inclusive so the displayed price at stores is easy to read for consumers.

Its not a system weakness. System implies the audit process ,customs backend processing and actual implementation rules are flawed. It isnt.

It was top down directive

Too much was recognised as revenue and not set aside. Once it went into govt coffers its too late to take out so they roll with the next month collection to refund previous month

The problem slowly snowballs into year 3 of GST collection 2018.

If govt set aside a correct amount as revenue and have customs keep sufficient for refunds this will never occur

This was PAC findings which showed that Najib didnt steal GST but too much collection was recognised as revenue

This is because “the collection from GST that was not transferred into the GST Refund Consolidated Fund, was actually spent for the purposes of government’s operating and development expenditure.” The previous government had also overestimated the net collection of GST, the PAC said.

Here is the link. You can find other PAC related findings in other related articles in the link

Saying its a weakness does the customs a disservice

Why are you unhappy paying SST?

Like you say it's just a form of tax?

There is no tax that are better or worse

All taxes have their pros and cons

Fact is GST you pay more, and SST you pay less

So, where got people in the world happy paying more taxes to government?

Like I say before, people keep bring up GST because of political reasons only

because abcdgst

Pasal dulu gained power by attacking GST & misguiding b40.

If 2018 masuk Putrajaya time announce will retain GST, sure kena kutuk kaw2 + throw rotten eggs.

So terpaksa abolish. Namun there's a Chinese idiom, "on the back of tiger, cannot come down", best describe PH's position.

GST had an ever-changing list of exceptions so not everything was taxed. Can tell OP never had to file GST.

Is that wrong?

I thought people like you keep saying they kencing manifesto

When they not kencing also wrong

Also, are you so happy to pay more tax to government?

The way our government does things, both will be messy at the end. Choose your poison. It is not going to get better no matter which one you choose.

Ego. Pride

who can remember such long list?

Sales tax order is massive. Imagine updates....

That's why GST is easier to administer (at lower cost).

Having said that GST = Galanya Semua Tax.

Last time during GST time, I keep saying GST is better but got so many zombies coming to attack me with all sorts of name. Strangely, they seem to have disappeared. Anyone know where they are now?

The top complain of GST is slow refund. So they all go to support NO refund. Since there is nothing to refund, there is no slow refund issue. This LGE very smart. Must vote for DAP next time.

Ok, as I know it is the weakness of the refund systems due to various reasons. I do not see any issue with GST collection except it was sabotage properly by some opposition until they cannot implement it now. I can be wrong though.

problem start with exemption.

I don’t. I prefer to pay 6% vs SST(6,8,10%), LVGT, HVGT, digital tax, and what nots. And I see many of the roadside sellers and others are not paying any taxes whilst I pay taxes. With GST, I know those roadside or other traders pay taxes as well when they spend.
