KUALA LUMPUR: The additional revenue brought in by the goods and services tax (GST) will further reduce the Treasury’s dependence on direct taxes, said Datuk Seri Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah.

The Second Finance Minister said that with less direct tax burden on the people and businesses, there would be greater investment and even consumption within the domestic economy.
