Retailers urged to prepare early for GST

KUALA LUMPUR: Retailers must start preparing now for the implementation of the goods and services tax (GST) to avoid last-minute chaos and business disruption, said Malaysian Retailer-Chains Association (MRCA) president Datuk Nelson Kwok.

He said Malaysians were known to wait until the last minute and this would inevitably cause confusion when the GST takes effect on April 1, 2015.
