I wonder why Jamus didn't suggest making GST exclude the basic necessity like what Malaysia is doing..

Like that, we don't need to debate if the poor are taxed since most of their spending will be GST free items..

Meanwhile, we are taxing the rich more since they will spend more on non basic necessity which charge GST..

As for middle class, they get to save some $$ as well since they also need to buy the basic necessity..

Only person not happy, govt or IRAS to be exact..

Because PAP wants to make sure every single GST payable items is captured

And every single cent of GST is collected

Some shops may have some basic necessity mixture

The SAP System needs 12 mths to overhaul

for example Tan TS Hospital
