Is SST a good idea to replace GST?

Details: Category: GST System Changes Articles; Published: 02 August 2018; Hits: 147

I HOPE to share my views, as a tax specialist with a thorough understanding of GST, on the preference for GST instead of SST. GST/VAT has been perfected today by several generations of international tax experts since its implementation in France in 1954. SST has been abandoned by the world and there are no special benefits of its re-introduction. What are the benefits of implementing this tax regime? GST is in line with international systems of indirect tax and SST is going against the world trend.

If the Pakatan Harapan Government must implement the SST, please tell the people what are the benefits of this tax regime. Why are there no countries in the world which use SST?

Moreover, rushing for implementation without a clear understanding of national fiscal policy, implementation road map, advice from the country’s tax experts and impact analysis will not ensure that the cost of living can be reduced.

I want to see more economic facts and references to support SST than a pure concept. I want the Government to issue an exposure draft for the public to provide feedback.

We had the previous government which tabled, read and passed a bill within a few days in Parliament. I hope that this will not happen again.

What is Mind Mapping?

When we talk about mind mapping, we have to salute the inventor of mind mapping. He is Tony Buzan. He is such a great mind to invent and introduce the concept of mind mapping and how our brain functions to the world that has benefitted more than millions of people worldwide since 1970s. It is the ultimate thinking tool that has transformed the life of many individuals from the pre-school children to the corporate giants.

What is Finance IT?

It is in the past that people who work for information technology on behalf of accounting department were called system accountants and finance project managers. These professionals are working on the part time basis in addition to their main job description. As the job scope is not clearly defined between Finance and IT division, it is always bringing out many disagreements between two divisions on the tasks to be delivered and what can they do and not. One typical example is finance professionals expecting that a button can solve all their issues while ignoring the problems that IT would face in order to bring out such amazing practice.

There is lack of a direction to give a unique name and definition for the piece of work done by the system accountants and finance project managers. I would like to bring out the definition of Finance IT. Finance IT is a new profession that shall recognize in every modern finance and information technology divisions. Finance IT shall refer to the profession for those finance professionals who are handling information technology systems or IT professionals who are handling finance application management.
