hmmm..i actually boycott the resto with 5% gov tax....but before that..i'll make my entry to the resto and announced that..does your resto makes rm3million in a year?? if no..then i dont need to pay the 5% tax..(devilish grin)
Thanks for the reminder.
borneo - pls do and if u found them still doing so (unauthorised), name them in yr blog
bzbee - well, if they were to tell u that they dont earn a revenue of rm3.0 million, it goes to show that their food is not really that nice ..... hehe
cc - most welcome
I think for those franchise outlet.. definitely got RM3mil a year.. but doubt on those only got one branch or few branch..
Thanks for sharing.. definitely be alert on it... coz wanna be smart consumer..
Hi there,
Just learnt sales tax in my tax lecturer : ) I think the RM3m threshold is a new one. Last time was only RM300k
Anyway, went to chillis in KLCC ytd and they charged 5% gov tax, but i couldn't find their name in the list!
wanwan - example, all kfc outlets are counted as one and therefore they will certainly exceed rm3 million
tsuchong - u are correct on the threshold. as for chillis, the licence may be registered under a different sdn bhd name. u cld have asked under which company name they have registered for their service tax licence
baby - will do so
Kiku Zakura and Shanghai 10 at Upper Concource Level, Avenue K are still chanrging 10% Service Tax. Not 5% you know... but 10%... total crap...
I've written to the emails provided by Johnny Ong - hopefully next time I pass by the area, I will check if the officers have done something about it or they're too lazy... :p
Thanks Johnny - good post here... :P
