SEREMBAN, Sept 3 — A special
officer tasked with matters pertaining to the Sales and Services Tax (SST) will
be appointed in each state.
Finance
Minister Lim Guan Eng said the officer would be responsible in giving
clarification on the SST to the stakeholders.
“The
officers chosen, besides the state director (of the Royal Malaysian Customs
Department), must be conversant in the tax system.
“We
do not want to appoint many people to refrain from having three or four
different answers, and this will confuse the people.
“If the public wants to get black and white (written feedback), the director
(of the Royal Malaysian Customs Department) in each state will respond within a
week,” he said at an SST briefing attended by more than 500 people here
tonight.
Present
were Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Saifuddin Nasution
Ismail, Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook and Negri Sembilan Mentri
Besar Aminuddin Harun. — Bernama
