In less than 2 months there will be another GST hike and those who are sick have to pay more to get treated. 

The clinic put out thus notice


My question is this. Why can't we GST be waived for the sick who need medical treatment?

Someone said our country unlike Malaysia has no natural resources so cannot afford to give almost  free dental and medical like in Malaysia.

But why cant we waive GST for medical given those who are sick may not be able to afford treatment?

They are providing a service to the patient, hence, it is reasonable to charge good and services tax.

GST shd be waived for necessities like medical. We do not hv a compassionate Govt that shows empathy to the sick. Most of them, if not all, who visited Polyclinics are those who cannot afford to visit private GPs. They are trying to make end-meets and few dollars meant a lot to them. And worst wil be those chronic cases who needs regular follow up. This reason is good enough that I wil not support nor neither respect these PaPayas.

because majority of Singaporean voters are moronic sheep who love being abused

i have to agree FartSunKing is smarter

Gst is the help the poor. If gst hike to 20% there would be no poor people.

[WhatDoYouThink!]

Too much help will encourage more poor ppl

[Ola]

You stupid fcuk!

GST increase does not affect the low and middle income households

As these households effectively pay 'negative' tax

GST increases is neccessary for the low and middle income households

Dear Moron from Malaysia with a Fake NTU Degree

How stupid can you be all the time?

With a family of 3, their GST per year can be $400 per year

Food, clothes, medicine . .. . all has GST

Do they get back all $500 or $ 1,000 GST as you claim in your lies?

My question is this. Why can't we GST be waived for the sick who need medical treatment?

the answer is simple because no opposition MP raises motion to waive GST for the sick in parliament.

WP and PSP need to do work in parliament.

if PAP ,WP and PSP do not care, GST cannot be waived.

[p1acebo]

Nice titties

[sgbuffett]

The PAP is using GST to subsidise low tax regime for the rich ....

It is waived in polyclicss and government horsepeters.

You don't go to polyclinics and government horsepeters? It's waived.

But if you go private then that's up to the private clinic or atas horsepeter to waive/absorb it but you can bet they will not.

Deposits can also get u into trouble nevermind bank runs.

PAP likes GST because GST revenue can grow when the population grows.

Other taxes cannot grow as fast as GST when population grows.

[jus4lucky]

GST is being abused by pap. vote wisely

My daughter loves GST.  She collects more GST but never issues Tax invoices for her abalone sales.

GST is modeled after VAT in the UK.

We may have created char kway teow, chicken rice, bak chor mee, which are not found in China but most things we do and/or use are learned from other countries, and our entire tax regime is one of those.

What you said is true.  Besides that, it also taxes tourists.  And foreigners who live here, but are not paying income taxes which are used to maintain the country. They benefit, but don't contribute, how can?

It also taxes those who don't declare their incomes truthfully for eg, hawkers, various free-lance workers including private tutors like SgBuffet

I am in full support of increasing GST as long as rebates are given back to low income Singaporeans..... only Singaporeans.  PRs should not get it as they should get freebies from their own government for eg Anwar, Modi and Winnie.

Coming soon

I think polyclinic and gov hospital GST they waved ; local hawker centre and neighbour hood shop also no GST......lower income people not so affected.
