KUALA LUMPUR: The expansion in the Sales and Service Tax (SST) rate from 6% to 8% since March 1 this year had little impact on inflation, with an estimated 0.2% point increase, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

The Prime Minister said this is because the policy change only involves service tax, while sales tax remains within the existing scope and tax rate.
