Following the results of GE 14, Pakatan Harapan had won 113 seats and forming new government in Malaysia. Thus, the highly concerned point in their Manifesto “Abolish GST in 100 days & replaced by SST” has now come under spotlight of everyone concern.
With refer to our 7th PM – Tun Mahathir in replying to one of the media questions, he is confirming that GST is a “cancellation” instead of adjusting to lower rate. Though there is no official announcement about GST abolishment thus far, but we can expect this is something major that is going to happen in near future (within 100 days).
Therefore, let’s take a closer look about few major questions that most people concern:
- Do I still need to pay for GST now? Is it legal to collect GST now?
- What is SST?

- Can you give an example about how SST mechanism work?
- How to handle my company Accounting during the transition period?
