KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians may need to earn at least RM4,000 before the Government considers reintroducing the Goods and Services Tax (GST), says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
The Prime Minister said current income levels remained too low for the broad-based tax, which he argued would place a heavier burden on ordinary Malaysians.
"If the minimum income of our people reaches RM4,000, we can consider it because although the tax is imposed at a lower rate, it would not be considered too burdensome and we could ensure better revenue," he said during Prime Minister's Question Time at the Dewan Rakyat on Thursday (Nov 12).
