New tax system will ensure most of 84% who do not pay their dues do so


Hairstylists Chan Tian Lee, 24, and Lim Kim Pei, 27, showing GST-calculators at Popular Book in Komtar, Penang. The calculators, which calculate Goods and Services Tax (GST) with just a click of the button, are now in demand by shoppers. Popular Book Co (M) Sdn Bhd area manager Teh Ai Ling said sales had been good with more than 100 GST-calculators sold over the fortnight.
