PETALING JAYA: The re-introduction of the Sales and Service Tax (SST) – a 10% tax on sale of goods and a 6% tax on services – does not mean that the tax imposed will be at 16%, the Finance Minister said.

Lim Guan Eng said it would be comparing apples with oranges by simply adding up the SST and comparing it to the 6% Goods and Services Tax (GST).
