Sales tax on low-value goods can be a boon or bane

PETALING JAYA: The upcoming 10% sales tax on imported low-value goods could pose potential challenges for ecommerce businesses and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), say SME groups.

SME Association of Sabah (SME Sabah) president Datuk Foo Ngee Kee said ecommerce companies might face higher costs as they now have to collect and pay the sales tax on behalf of their customers.
