Most of these posts show the confusion that most of us still have over this new tax system that has replaced the Sales &amp; Services Tax.<\/p>\n<p>With accusations thrown at some merchants, like what happened to Mydin. Mydin started a<em> Harga Tak Naik<\/em> (no price hike) campaign, where the company stated that the prices of their goods would not increase in price, and that it would absorb the 6% GST. However, as a GST registered company, it is required by law to include the 6% GST in the receipts.<\/p>\n<p>The lack of understanding has created a lot of rumours and misunderstandings, and this in turn can make the consumers vulnerable to opportunistic merchants.
