No GST on gadgets used by disabled

KUALA LUMPUR: There will be no Goods and Services Tax (GST) imposed on gadgets and equipment used by the disabled community.

However, in order to be entitled to the relief, private charity organisations and donors of such equipment would have to produce a certificate signed by the head of the organisation concerned, which has to be registered with the Social Welfare Department, said Royal Malaysian Customs Department GST director Datuk Subromaniam Tholasy.
