Customs Dept: Those who are mistakenly taxed can claim refund with receipts

PETALING JAYA: Prices of newspapers and top-up charges for handphones will not go up with the Goods and Services Tax (GST). Anyone who has been mistakenly taxed for these items can get a refund if they have the receipts.

Several outlets have sold newspapers with GST and one convenience store chain has been given a cautionary note to recalibrate its GST calculating system at once.
