While I am browsing the HyppTV news Headline today, there are a few headlines picked my interest, to name a few - issues Pet Hotel Operators, Mat Indera , Haze , CO2 Emmission. However there are a headlines that really attract my attention.
"6% Service Tax on Prepaid Reloads and Starter Pack "
KUALA LUMPUR : Those buying prepaid reloads and prepaid starter/SIM packs
will be charged a 6% service tax from Sept 15.
Not a good news. Another burden.
I am a post paid user and have been already charged by 6% tax so its not an issue for me. My postpaid bill is RM53 instead RM50. Because the RM3 is from the tax. So I am not worrying about me. My bill suits my phone usage.
I am worried about my father, my in law, and my wife whom using prepaid.
What does 6% means?
If you buy RM10.00 topup it will cost you RM10.60. It is quite a lot of money to spend. In term of percentage it is quite high. If you put RM10.00 in ASB , you will not get RM0.60 straight away.
Maybe some of you who have lot of money does not care about the cost. But from what I see, people go for prepaid to save more money.
i think, they need to think pros and cons before make any decision regarding on this issue. they can't simply assume that all people will agree.
ReplyDeleteyes. Agree. Luckily PM ask them the telco to reconsider. Hopefully they will consider.
