Pengecualian GST Kad Tambah Nilai Prabayar 2017

Prime Minister has announced that the GST rebate for prepaid reload will be extended to year 2017. In other words, GST exemption on prepaid reload will remain in 2017.

The original mobile prepaid reload top up GST rebate was announced by Prime Minister during Malaysia Budget 2016 and was supposed to end on 31 December 2016:

The Government realises that the majority of mobile phone users, particularly youth depend on prepaid telecommunication services or prepaid cards.

In this regard, Malaysian consumers will receive rebates equivalent to the amount of GST paid, which will be credited directly to their prepaid accounts. This measure will be effective from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016.

Malaysia PM Press Office via a tweet: Pengecualian GST until kad tambah nilai prabayar akan terus dikekalkan pada tahun 2017.
