Going by what the government claims, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) will not be very painful for the people.

 

The GST will be negligible for consumers because at 6 percent, it is actually lower than the sales and service tax now paid on many consumer goods and services, the government says.

 

Shoppers who flocked supermarkets on the last weekend before GST implantation on April 1 appear doubtful, filling their shopping carts with essentials like toilet paper and sanitary pads for fear of price hikes.

 

Do you believe GST will have little impact on your pocket?

 

Let the numbers do the talking.
