Telcos under investigation for increasing price of top-up cards

PUTRAJAYA: Several telecommunication companies (telcos) are being investigated for increasing the price of prepaid top-up cards in light of the 6% Goods and Services Tax (GST), going against Customs Department instructions.

Customs GST director Datuk Subromaniam Tholasy said some telcos have acted in contrary to a circular saying prices of top-up cards should be maintained even after the GST came into effect.
