Malaysian,What you should know regarding 0%GST

Did you ever visited Tax Free or Duty Free Shop? If yes, what are the reasons you do so? For me, i went to Duty Free Shop because of one reason:Tax Free.I believe no one enjoy paying tax when there is an opportunity to skip tax in a legal way.

Here's the Good News for Travellers who visiting Malaysia now. Malaysia had abolished GST system since 1st of June while the new tax system SST will only begin at the coming September,therefore most of the products and services in Malaysia currently in a tax free situation for 3 months. The best part is, Government actually preventing all the business who included GST in their products and services price to remain same price even after GST abolished. If you happen to found out some business didn't reduce their price after they stop collecting GST,you can report to the authority, provide something to prove that they didn't reduce their price so authority can take action immediately.

Bear in mind that although in the coming 3 months we have no GST but other tax like tourism tax and heritage tax still applicable,to enjoy the most out of it here are what you can do.
