.wah! more tax.

In less than 18 months from now, Malaysia will join the long list of countries which have a consumption tax, such as the UK, Indonesia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Canada, Singapore, China, Thailand, Australia and most recently, India. Are you ready?

The proposed goods and services tax (GST) is a generic term similar value-added tax, or VAT, which Malaysia will introduce in January 2007.

Ernst & Young Tax Consultants Sdn Bhd says the GST is not likely to be more than 5% as the Government wants to ensure its reduced impact on the man in the street.

Its executive director Bhupinder Singh said for a start, it should not be more than the current service tax which is 5% and sales tax which ranges from 5 to 25%.
