Singaporeans taking advantage of tax holiday too

JOHOR BARU: Not only Malaysians are enjoying the three-month tax holiday but Singaporeans too are taking advantage of the zero-rating of the Goods and Services Tax to have their shopping sprees across the Straits of Johor.

With Hari Raya Haji being a public holiday in both Malaysia and Singapore yesterday, many Singapo­reans drove across the Causeway to shop here, not letting up the chance to capitalise on the tax holiday before it ends on Aug 31.
