Sabah Umno urges higher exemption to ease people’s burden

KOTA KINABALU: The threshold for the Sales and Service Tax (SST) on electricity bills should be raised to RM300 instead of RM203 in Sabah so that more people can benefit from the exemption, says Umno.

Sabah Umno election director Jeffrey Nor Mohamed said the Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd (SESB) should know that consumers in the state have to contend with unstable supply, even as they pay SST.
