\"Budget<\/a>It was announced by our Prime Minister that 300,000\u00a0individuals who are earning a monthly income of RM4,000 will no longer need to pay any income tax in 2015, following the implementation of GST in 2015.<\/p>\n

Are you going to pay less tax after the introduction of Goods & Services Tax (GST) on 1 April 2015?<\/p>\n

The answer is obviously\u00a0NO<\/strong>!\u00a0You will surely be paying more TAX when GST is imposed!\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

Before GST<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

Let’s take an example, individuals with monthly income of RM3,000 do not need to pay any income tax. However, he may need to pay service tax for foods & drinks ordered & consumed at McDonalds or Starbuck, etc.<\/p>\n

Amount spent on foods & drinks with Service tax = RM900 per month (RM30 x 30 days)<\/p>\n

Service tax = RM54 <\/strong>(6% on RM900)<\/p>\n

\n

After GST<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

Individuals with monthly income of RM3,000 do not need to pay any income tax but now he has to pay for everything that subject to GST, assuming he continue eat & drink at McDonalds or Starbuck, etc and\u00a0never eat foods & drinks at “Gerai makan”.<\/p>\n

GST = RM3,000 x 6% =RM180.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Additional tax = RM126! <\/strong>(180-54)<\/p>\n

\n

Conclusion:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Government is expecting additional income of RM30,000,000,000 (RM30 billion or 30,000 million) from the Malaysia people after the introduction of GST.<\/p>\n

Government income = people’s tax.<\/p>\n

Let’s guess, who will pay more tax?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
