GST and Dr Veerinderjeet Singh

 What is GST?

Goods and services tax ( GST ) is a consumption tax charged on a wide range of domestic & international products, goods and services. It’s a broad-based tax imposed on every level of a product, from raw materials all the way to finished goods. It affects all layers of business and consumers – And whether you realize it or not, you’re being taxed for almost every thing.


How will the tax be charged?

GST will be charged at 4% of the value added to goods/services at each stage of production/ distribution. This rate, indicated by the Finance Minister, is known as the standard rate.

 

 Who can charge GST? 

A business with sales in one year amounting to RM500,000, as indicated by the Finance Minister, must register to charge GST. A business with sales amounting to less than this threshold may volunteer to register to charge GST and claim input tax credit.
