Mahathir selling snake oil SST

FMT - Agong’s remark was just a joke, says Dr M (extracts):


your son should be OK, now for my son 

Mahathir said the Agong’s speech today had asked Malaysians to be moderate and to show consideration towards others. [...]

On criticism of the sales and services tax rate of 10% for sales and 6% for services, he said people did not need to pay if they were not purchasing items.

“Compared to the GST (goods and services tax), it is a value-added tax. Whether a person buys items or not, the price of goods will increase.”


Mahathir's wisdom or chong?


SST is better than GST ???

According to the cunning man:

SST - people did not need to pay if they were not purchasing items

GST - price rises whether people buy or not - why not "people did not need to pay if they were not purchasing items"

What shit difference is there between buying a SST-ed and a GST-ed item??? Mate, SST at 10% will carry 4% higher prices than GST-ed items.

What fCk-ing new-manmanlai bullshit.

The truth is whether items are SST-ed or GST-ed (except for those items exempt from GST**), people will need to pay if they are purchasing items.

With GST people pay 6% but with SST people pay 10%. No change in service tax - both are at 6%.

Therefore you will be paying a HIGHER price for SST.

And the disappointing omission of information for the gullible guppies has been that the GST system was more transparent than the opaque SST system.

  1. Way to go Waytha....National Unity and Social Well Being Minister, whatever that means. Some overlap with Kak Wan's Ministry perhaps but then again Kak Wan needs a lot of help. Hannah is itchin' to go.

    Chin Tong Deputy Defence Minister, normally would not have been a good fit but given Mat Sabu is the Minister, Chin Tong as Deputy makes a lot of sense. The Ministry needs some serious procurement (jet planes, light armoured tanks, guns, frigates etc) but poor Mat Sabu still thinks Scorpene is a Heavy Metal Band (Scorpions) and is lost with numbers. Rumor is he drives a 15 year old Kelisa and his wife fills in the petrol tank. He is good with speeches though so that helps with the rank and file (but not with the Generals).

    Dewan Negara has 70 seats for Senators, we should aim for 40-30 Harapan-BN/PAS to reflect Lower House. Then please appoint Zaid as President of the Senate and we should have a rockin-time YEAH!! Bring It On, I'm Lovin It...Just like Dacing, Only Better.

  2. The new SST is 6% for Services - so cost neutral.
    Electronic goods were cheaper in the past in Malaysia because they were Tax Free. All Books were Tax Free.
    When GST was introduced almost everything had 6% tacked on.

    Instant tax increase.

    2. From the Deputy International Trade and Industry Minister Ong Kian Ming :

      "The GST generated a revenue of about RM42 billion a year for the government.
      But under the SST, only RM21 billion will be collected. I think this will benefit the rakyat as (the difference) is returned to the people," he said.

      He added that many items that were previously taxed under the GST system will be exempted under the SST regime.

      The overall impact will be a lower cost of living,"

    3. GST was 6% tacked on for value-add at EVERY STAGE of the supply chain. Snowball tax.

      SST is taxed 10% on Goods , 6% on service ONCE.

    4. Monsterball, you are the WORST and BIGGEST LIAR in your explanation of GST. Please stop lying even if you have to earn dedak from mahathir.

      GST did NOT impose 6% at each and every stage of the supply chain. It did only once at the consumer end, with the tax collected at the intermediate stage being RETURNED to each of those stages of the processing chain.

      You are extremely UNSCRUPULOUS in your deceiving and duplicitous misinformation on the GST - I look at you in utter disgust at your immoral lies, done obviously to earn brownie points from Mahathir. Fucking dedak eater

  5. However much one wants to Kelentong about GST better than SST, the bottom line is GST collection is about RM42 billions and SST collection about RM26 billions plus or minus a few billions.

    So, the Govt. collects less thru SST and the shortfall surely goes to the Rakyat or businesses operated by the Rakyat.

    Anything which don't go into the Govt. coffers surely will benefit the Rakyat, right?

    So what are you talking about and trying to justify GST and twisting statements said by so and so?

    Why don't you explain first where the shortfall in SST collections compared to GST collections is going into?

    It cannot be into thin air or Ahjib accounts again right?

      So DONT use transparency in taxation mechanisms as an excuse to pick GST in lieu of SST!

    9. "More money collected implies more collecting outlets. More collecting outlets DIRECTLY proportional to more undertabling lah!"

      -The most dumbest quote ever written-

      Look here idiot. When more money is collected it does prove more collecting outlets but DOES NOT prove more undertabling. Infact it proves the opposite.

      Ppl do undertable deals to hide cashflow records as TO AVOID PAYING TAX you bloody fool. Not to pay tax. SST is where biz ppl like doing undertable deals as the system lacks detailed records as in GST eg like in ur purchase receipts which is also recorded in the system linked to Customs.

      Yes ppl may try to find some loopholes by dealing cash with no records but only a handsfull of sectors can do that but then limitedly, as they can be targetted for bringing in lesser tax as opposed to business nature and revenue.

      Dealing in cash undertable without records WILL bring about problems in record statements in cashflows and account balances as it shows details of paying bills, wages, etc etc vs revenue, as they can be questioned how they are able to pay their commitments while having lesser revenue (as recorded due to much dealing undertables). Plus who in hell would wanna hold on to countless cash? Once u deposit it there r records too and could be subjected to tax. So yes they are undertable deals but not so much as claimed.

      So pls DO NOT be a bloody fool CK.

    10. Ppl do undertable deals to hide cashflow records as TO AVOID PAYING TAX you bloody fool. Not to pay tax.

      Yes!

      It also opens up MORE chances both parties to kowtim the amt of tax paid.

      Just think, if even under such circumstances, the tax revenue collected increases THEN the amt 'undertabled' must be correspondingly increased!

  7. GST is a BANE for SMEs in Malaysia. In the old days any small business can run with minimal paperwork. Due to intense competition, profit margins are compressed to 5% or less in many sectors. For a business to run sales of 500K a year often means a net profit of 30K a year or less. Meaning the GST turnover costs are more than the profit! Factor in the fact that GST refunds are so sluggish, with nightmarish paperwork and accounting costs simply means a whole lot of small timers just gave up and closed down.

    Only people who don't live in Malaysia fail to see this.

  8. Here are several facts which will expose the fallacies being circulated today:

    The sales tax at a rate of five percent and 10 percent only applies to selected manufactured and imported products and not all products, unlike the GST.

    The six percent service tax applies to selected services and not all services, unlike the GST.

    The sales tax is imposed on manufacturers’ and importers’ price, while the GST was imposed on the final consumer price. Hence it is wrong to claim that a “10 percent sales tax is higher than a six percent GST”.
    For example, a manufacturer imposes a 10 percent sales tax (10 sen) on a can of soft drink manufactured for RM1. However, when the same can is sold to a consumer at a 7-Eleven for RM2, a six percent GST of 12 sen would have been imposed. In this case, it is clear that a six percent GST at 12 sen would be higher than a 10 percent SST.

    In addition, the Ministry of Finance has undertaken a comprehensive SST review exercise with the assistance of accounting firm Pricewaterhouse Coopers' (PwC) tax consultants to simplify the SST.

    PwC will help rationalise tax collection and reporting requirements to ensure that the SST will be even more efficient and less bureaucratic than the GST or even the previous SST system.

    PwC will ensure the SST imposed on Sept 1 will be simpler and less cumbersome while preventing leakages and loopholes.

    Unlike the GST, which burdens the poor proportionately more, the new SST will also be tweaked and designed to ensure that its impact on the lower income groups will be proportionately less.

    The details of the improvements will be announced when the new SST Bill is tabled in Parliament during the current sitting.

    3. GST is implemented by so many countries because it becomes a source of easy money.

      Singapore is one of the exceptions where the GST funds collected have been put to careful and good use.

      Least Developed countries use GST to tax the rich and middle class by taxing the formal economy. Most of the low income people pay Zero GST, because they buy items in the cash economy.

      In 1st World countries, the public often see GST as a fair trade off, because you get a high standard of public services and public amenities.

      Many have become trapped in "The Curse of Easy Money" from GST.

      GST did not do Greece, Portugal and Spain any good.
      It first became a ticket for financial irresponsibility for those governments because of the Easy Money, and then became a massive burden on the public as the governments tacked on insanely high % of GST to pay for the profligacy.

    4. GST is good in collecting more tax revenue for the govt ONLY.

      That's the ultimate aim of any govt, especially those of cash strapped. Thus many countries administrate it.

      It's a burden to SME & consumers, especially those in the early stage of economic development!

      Simple mind sees & simple mind interprets as in many people use the methodology then the methodology must be good!

      eg, zombies r the products of petrified zombiecism. Due to no-brain-power utilization requirements, zombies r numbered in the hundreds of thousands in bolihland. Is zombies GOOD for M'sia?

  11. Aiyah when it come to tax, it's a zero sum game. The rakyat pay, the government collect. Of cause to the government the GST is better because it collect more tax, approximately RM40b as quoted above compare with RM20b if it were SST.


    On the other hand you don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that with SST overall the rakyat "win" because overall the rakyat fork out less SST than GST.

  14. Pakatan Harapan’s election promise to scrap the GST and replace it with the SST was aimed at reducing Malaysians’ rising cost of living.

    However, economists said that a significant price reduction post-SST was unlikely.

    They also expected the re-introduced SST to lead to higher prices in the market, even if the indirect tax regime covers fewer products compared with the now-zerorised GST. Nevertheless, the real impact remains to be seen
