Fans of Big Mac rejoice, for McDonald\u2019s Malaysia has announced that there will not be an increase in their prices following the implementation of the 6% Goods and Services Tax (GST).<\/p>\n
GST, which came into effect on April 1, took over the former 6% government tax.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere won\u2019t be price increases in all of McDonald\u2019s menu line-up because the new 6% GST replaces the existing 6% government service tax, which was already being paid by customers at all McDonald\u2019s Malaysia restaurants,\u201d McDonald\u2019s Malaysia Marketing and Communications senior director Melati Abdul Hai told\u00a0The Star.<\/i><\/p>\n
\u201cIn fact, customers will pay the same amount or even less for their food because McDonald\u2019s will be absorbing the GST for selected menu items, as part of its All-Day Value initiative to pass on savings to customers,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
The lower prices under the All-Day Value initiative covers several menu items, including the popular set meals such as the Filet-O-Fish and Double Cheeseburger Extra Value Meals, which are priced at RM7.95 inclusive of GST.<\/p>\n
