Retailers can still use old price tags

PUTRAJAYA: The 6% Goods and Services Tax (GST) must be deducted at the cash register and reflected in the receipt although retailers are allowed to maintain the old price tags – for the time being – when the tax is zero-rated beginning June 1.

Business premises would be allowed to “take some time” to retag their goods with new prices following requests for a grace period, says Domestic Trade, Consumerism and Cooperatives Ministry enforcement director Datuk Roslan Mahyuddin.
