COMPARISON BETWEEN SST AND GST
GST was introduced in April 2015. And it was said to be more transparent, effective, efficient and business friendly tax system as compared to SST. The 6% tax system is imposed on goods and services at every level of production in the supply chain which is manufactures, wholesaler, retailors and consumers. This input tax is claimable by businesses. SST is a single stage consumption tax for the sales tax, the government only collects tax at the manufacturer level and element of sales tax will be charged in the price paid by consumer. The sales tax rates is 5% to 10%. Meanwhile the service tax is imposesd on certain sevices such as takaful, insurance, and hotels as well as food and beverage services. The rates is set at 6%. Fewer items to be taxed under SST compare to the GST system. Overall, the SST is more of a direct taxation, and can be treated as an added cost to business.
