PUTRAJAYA: The Government has yet to make a decision, or set a deadline, to replace the existing sales and services tax with a new regime.
“We are seriously looking at GST (goods and services tax) to replace the existing sales and services tax. However, we need to be sure that implementing the new tax system would not burden the people,’’ Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Husni Mohamad Hanadzlah said yesterday after chairing the last series of discussion with target focus groups ahead of the upcoming Budget 2010.
