The expansion of the Sales and Services Tax (SST) will not have a significant impact on parents who send their children to private nurseries, kindergartens or preschools, said Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri.
Speaking after the Anjung Sinar 2025 Programme appreciation ceremony on Sunday (June 29), Nancy said this was because the service tax would only apply to operators imposing annual tuition fees exceeding RM60,000 per student.
Nancy also reminded operators not to capitalise on efforts to strengthen the country's fiscal position and broaden the tax base in ways that would burden parents.
00:00The effective first of July, it is like this, if it is in the same way, it is not affecting them, but if they are paying more than 60,000 for students for a long-term year,
00:24so that will be used by the SST. But in the same way, it is also worth paying more than 60,000 for a year.
00:40This is more than the private sector for a year, for a year.
00:52Is it small?
00:54The other thing is not until it is because there is a threshold of 60,000.
01:00If it is 60,000 for a year, one student will be affected by the SST.
01:10So, there are no more than that?
01:12It is not because there are many people who have been sent to the SST.
01:18Even the SST pun, sometimes they are not able to achieve that.
01:20And now, they have already given the information so that they know that if it is 60,000 for a year, one student will be affected.
01:32What do you mean by the SST?
01:34What do you mean by the SST?
01:36What do you mean by the SST?
01:38So, they will be able to achieve their job, honestly.
01:40So, to help their mother and father, so that they can do the work.
01:48The same thing, they will also need to remember their people.
01:54We need a place from them and we don't need to charge excessively.
