PETALING JAYA: MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong has questioned the government’s rationale for maintaining and expanding the Sales and Service Tax (SST) instead of reintroducing the Goods and Services Tax (GST), describing the move as “strange” and inconsistent with the government’s own findings.
Dr Wee said the government had acknowledged that the SST system had been in place in Malaysia for more than 40 years, yet used this as justification for raising the rate from 6% under GST to 8% under SST.
