so many b40 here no need pay tax, how?
gov also don't want enforce strictly to collect tax from org kito

those bazaar stall owner got 7-10k sales a day
Ada bayar tax tak?

20% of tax payer contributing 80% of tax
If not second bottom in the region memang ada hantu

world bank already advised: reinstate GST!

yes, even pasar malam also can kena GST as long as gov facilitate the system accordingly.

with GST. regardless of your ethnicity, income bracket, immigrants, citizens and even tourists, from legitimate or shadow economy, ALL kena tax fairly. you spend more, you kena more, simple and straightforward.

blame LGE for removing GST.

A lot of people do not realize now SST structure is charging multiple taxes along the same revenue stream. It means producer 1 is being charged SST, then producer 1 sells to producer 2 and producer 2 is also being charged SST, etc. At this point, SST could be collecting even more money than GST. Reinstating GST is no longer the sure fire way to get more taxes, it might even get less.

the whole point of argument for the past 2-3 pages is about fairness in tax. not about revenue.

and even if SST indeed collected more, the unfairness still persists.
