SST expansion will help boost national revenue


PUTRAJAYA: The expansion of the Sales and Service Tax (SST) can generate the necessary revenue to raise national coffers, says Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan.

Reintroducing the previous Goods and Services Tax (GST) system would require a transition period of up to two years for new industries that were created during the SST implementation, he said.
