Those who earn a monthly income of below RM2,000 will fork out RM51.89 or 2.59 percent of their income to pay for Goods and Services Taxes (GST), according to a research done by the Finance Ministry.

This is, in fact, RM20.06 more than what they paid for the previous Sales and Services Tax (SST) which only amounted to RM36.83 or 1.84 percent of their monthly income.
