Malaysia to add goods tax to imported fruit and vegetables
Customs Department director-general Datuk Subromaniam Tholasy confirmed the report saying "It's only a few items not consumed by the masses."
The new items that will be levied with GST include imported fruits like avocados, figs, grapes, nectarines, cherries and berries. However, vegetables such as potatoes, long beans, peas, spinach and sweet corn would also be taken off the GST zero-rated list.
Malaysia's government introduced the GST in April 2015 in the form of a 6 per cent tax on goods and services.
