According to the Finance Ministry, all revenue tax was placed under the Consolidated Fund with direct taxes and indirect taxes collected by the Federal Government.
“The GST collection will then be refunded as allocation for the purpose of national development and public prosperity, including improving sectors on education, health, infrastructure facilities besides development needs and national economic development,” it said in a written reply distributed at the Dewan Rakyat today.
Mujahid Yusof Rawa (Amanah-Parit Buntar) wanted to know the amount of GST collection since it was implemented and the amount of proceeds used to ease the people’s burden.
GST was enforced on April 1 last year.
