GST rate should be 5%

THE implementation of the impending goods and services tax (GST) in 2007 is on track, like the change in tax rates (towards a standardised percentage) so that there is one rate applicable to all goods and services,” executive director and head of indirect tax solutions and private client services of Ernst & Young , Bhupinder Singh, told a press conference before the company's annual budget seminar in Subang yesterday .


However, an overwhelming 88% felt that the GST rate should be 5% or lower, and Ernst & Young directors concurred that it would likely be set at 5% in the beginning.

All the above have confirmed my comment on Budget 2006.
