If you planning to change your phone .. You migh want to think again
You might want to wait if you have intend to buy a new phone
Reason why?
Well, it’s no secret that the government has announced GST zero rated starting by 1st of June and this zero rated GST includes phone as well … and the phone price also will be cheaper by 6%
If you’re asking how cheap can it be …
Well, with 6% it actually it’s quite a lot also. For example, if purchase a mobile phone that’s worth RM1,000 then you will be charged 6% GST which is RM60. You can actually 4 meals of Texas Chicken!!
Here is another good example. If you’re purchasing iPhone X 256GB, the selling price for the phone is RM5,899 and 6% GST is RM353.94. IIf you were to wait for 1st June, you just need to pay RM5545.06 for the a brand new iPhone X
Anyway, if you need further reference, here is the compiled lists of the phone with the price adjustment for your reference on how much you can save.
