All Eyes On SST 2.0

The SST (Sales and Services Tax) is a hot topic in the country this year.

With the targeted SST implementation date just weeks away are businesses ready?

What can we expect when SST kicks in?

The government says the SST would be a benefit to the consumers as it covers only 38% of CPI basket compared to 60% in the case of GST (Goods and Services Tax).

But, would opportunists take advantage of the situation to justify upping prices again? What anti-profiteering measures can be put in place?

We discuss this and more.

Listen in.
