There are many complaints and unsatisfied voices and opinions from
the businesses and consumers about the implementation of GST in
Malaysia. Definitely, the consumers are hurt by the
price increases of goods and services due to the implementation of
GST together with other factors and the possibility of hardship
occurrence due to the increment of cost burden and financial burden
on cost of living that might causes other issues such as mentally
issue due to the overload of pressure on the cost of living.
How about the businesses?? Some people saying that the
businesses would not affected due to the claim basis of GST where the
businesses transfer all the increase cost burden to the end users
which referring to the consumers. However, is that true? There are
few examples which revealing that the businesses were hurt by the GST
too. First, the enforcement of system changes within the required
time without the full considerations such as adequate timing and
cost. Refer back to the previous case which an old hardware store
owner suffered from the system changes due to his limited knowledge
on the technology and lack of man power and insufficient time to
change the required system for the implementation of GST.
