SST increase will affect B40,M40 despite exemption, says Dr Wee


PETALING JAYA: Consumers in the B40 and M40 groups will be affected by the increase in the Sales and Service Tax (SST) despite being exempted directly, says says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong

The MCA president said that although those who use less than 600 kWh a month in electricity would be exempted from SST, the fact that the 2% increase applies to commercial entities means that it would still affect those in the B40 and M40 groups.
