KUALA LUMPUR - The Cabinet has yet to discuss matters pertaining to the goods and services tax (GST), Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan said today, adding that the implementation such tax systems has yet to yield results.

"I'm not saying there were no discussions. What I'm saying is it has yet to be discussed. There were no discussions on tax such as GST. Nothing was discussed," he told Sinar on Tuesday, when asked whether the government was considering reimplementing GST.

Sinar previously reported that the Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (Muda) suggesting the government to reestablish the GST to ensure the country’s economy remained sustainable and robust.

Muda vice president Zaidel Baharuddin said the GST system was much more encompassing and transparent compared to the sales and service tax (SST) currently in its place.

He said it was a much more stable source of income for the government and it could reduce the dependence on oil and gas revenue.
