Originally posted by bowah:Petrol aka fuel is very much a cartel business, and it alway include the host country govt in it, so no matter how you kpkb, the govt insitution such as CASE is only doing a wayang job.
Logically speaking, Higher the price, higher Gst mah..then higher the proift, higher the corporate tax…both win, consumer lose only, not their problem. That $50 is still inside their pocket, and more coming in.
The fact that fuel is already a pay duties product with govt fuel surcharges, why is there still a Gst? So if you look closer, you are taxed twice.
Aiyah unker...which mountain you come from? Everything in Singapore is taxed many times over lah...
Singapore imports most of the things including food. When you import goods, GST is payable by the consignee if the CIF is more than $400. Then the consignee (middle man/wholesaler/agent) sell to retail shop, the retail shop also pay GST. Then the retail shop sell to you, you also pay GST. The same imported item is taxed 3 times or more. Although the retail shop/consignee can offset the GST (collect vs paid), but the GST he collects is likely to be more than the GST he paid cos he sell at higher price mah.
So, now you know why our budget every year got surplus.
Inflation -> more GST collection from the government.
Higher tax -> more GST collection from the government. Pay GST on tax.
