Customs Dept: GST to have minimal impact on home prices

PETALING JAYA: The Goods and Services Tax (GST) will only have an impact of between 0.5% and 2% on housing prices, assuming there is no change in supply and demand conditions, according to Customs Department GST director Datuk Subromaniam Tholasy.

Subromaniam said the worry that the GST would result in drastically higher property prices was unfounded.
