Is the list of GST zero rated-items too many to manage?

PETALING JAYA: After the Government finally unveiled the long-awaited list of zero-rated and exempted items under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on Monday, questions are now arising over whether the list is too long for it to manage.

Comprising over 900 items, some tax experts believe this is an unfavourable scenario that could expose the system to abuse and exploitation once the GST goes live on April 1 next year.
