Johor Sultan wants state govt, local councils to seek GST exemption

JOHOR BARU: Johor Ruler Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Sultan Iskandar has directed the state government and local councils to request an exemption for the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on public services.

He said it was not logical to impose the tax on public services as it was the duty of the state government and local councils to provide free services for tax payers.
