Yeah. its better such isnt it? Why Madani Bodo? Want stupid centralized taxation.

After all such taxation is deem failure when they dont have comprehensive framework and make certain places like future SJFTZ imbalance.

But without collecting the same amount/volume of tax

That’s where the expanded SST comes in

If they feel like still tak cukup, they’ll just expand more.

TBH, I'd take a single 10% GST than the mess of 5%, 6%, 8%, 10% SST rates, trying to work out whether it is 5% or 10% rate for LVGT, and faffing on whether the HVGT should be 5% or 10%.

At least sst is single tier tax not like gst need to wait for refund for input tax

Rokek like to lie and fitnah

GST is a single tier tax

SST is a multi tier tax

Reintroduce flat-rate GST in Sabah, urges accountants association

KOTA KINABALU: The government is being urged to consider reintroducing a simplified Goods and Services Tax (GST).

This proposal arises from concerns that the upcoming expansion of the Sales and Services Tax (SST) could burden businesses and consumers, especially in Sabah.

The Sabah Association of Professional Accountants (SAPA) suggested a flat-rate GST set at 3% to offer a fairer, more transparent, and efficient taxation model that could ease administrative burdens and reduce cost layering across industries.

"We believe a modern GST system, with basic exemptions and simplicity, would better serve Malaysia's fiscal goals while protecting the vulnerable," stated SAPA president Datuk Tan Kok Liang on Thursday (June 12).

SAPA expressed concern that the SST expansion, effective July 1, could disproportionately impact Sabah's fragile economy.

The inclusion of construction services and commercial property leases under SST could lead to higher project and rental costs, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas.

"In Sabah, infrastructure gaps and higher logistics costs already affect businesses. Adding tax pressure in areas like construction and shoplot rentals will further discourage investment and growth," said Tan.

He noted that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), considered the backbone of the state's economy, risk bearing the brunt of these changes, with higher costs likely passed down to tenants and consumers.

Tan acknowledged positive elements in SST, welcoming exemptions such as residential property rentals, basic goods like rice and medicines, and the exclusion of private healthcare for Malaysian citizens.

"These are thoughtful measures that protect lower- and middle-income groups from unnecessary financial strain," said Tan, adding that such exemptions demonstrate the government's effort to balance revenue and social protection.

The association argues GST offers advantages over SST, including input tax credits that avoid cascading costs, better audit trails, and stronger alignment with international tax standards, crucial for boosting investor confidence.

Tan said a simplified GST system could be tailored to Malaysia's needs and implemented without affecting essential goods and services.

"A well-designed GST would be more equitable and sustainable in the long term, likely less burdensome to consumers than the current dual-rate SST," he said.

SAPA also raised concerns about mandatory e-invoicing, noting many businesses, NGOs, and religious institutions in Sabah may lack the technical capacity or infrastructure to comply.

Tan mentioned that a reintroduced GST would incorporate invoice tracking, making a parallel e-invoicing system redundant for compliance purposes.

The group urged policymakers to adopt a more inclusive and consultative approach in tax reform discussions, especially considering regional disparities between Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia.

"We are ready to work with the government through technical consultations to ensure Sabah's unique economic circumstances are properly represented," Tan said.

Now it is like witcher 3 senario , anwar need come up with something to defend himself otherwise risk of by election / snap election soon

All the business man, politicians, noble seek to oust him

U serious sst is multi tier?

Gst is economically single tier at the consumer end, but physically multi tier because from manufacturers to distributers to retail shops to consumers, each tier will have input/output tax.

No wonder bijan rotten in jail becoz having supporters in such calibre. I tak tahu macam mana duit masuk bank akaun aku, bukan salahan saiya, sumua fitnah.

SST can have double taxations or more along supply chains
especially if <RM500k/annum revenue companies
and managing these exemptions along supply chain to avoid double taxation, is a mess

Sst only tax at manufacturer or importer end, once only, no?

If u beli barang from kedai kena charge sst please report

kek
they don't write 5% in receipt
they mark up as lump sum

And state gomen will pay gaji for all the guru doctor nurse abam polis jkr anneh etc etc working in the states and will not ask federal gomen for bantuan? Please go ahead.

The reason why a lot of ppl prefer gst including
Me because we can create bills out of thin air without submitting tin number / ic / registration etc

Though gst will actually cost more compare to sales tax one time off while gst is tax every transaction

With einvoice u can’t just issue a bill out putting cash if the sum is huge , u need to give a Tin number or ic

Reason doing this , gov want to trace your money where it’s from and where it goes
