‘We’ll absorb SST if cars booked before Sept 1 but delivered after that’

KUALA LUMPUR: At least one car distributor is absorbing the Sales and Service Tax if their customers had booked before Sept 1, but their vehicles are only delivered after that date.

An official at Bermaz Auto Bhd, the company that distributes Mazda cars, said it would honour bookings made before the introduction of SST and would absorb the tax and not pass it on to its customers.
