He stated that the rise in prices was not due to the implementation of GST and there were other factors including foreign exchange rate fluctuations, transportation, and other marketing aspects.

So, this also caused price increases but it is unclear why this factor was excluded. It is commonly argued that if GST is revenue neutral, it is unlikely to affect prices much unless the tax base is substantially different from the old tax base. In the short-term, GST will generate a temporary price hike and there will be less consumer demand for goods and services due to higher prices.

Also, GST has a broader base than SST and so normally in the short-term, some prices will increase; but in the long run the prices of goods and services should fall as the embedded cost of the previous tax on business inputs are removed. So, theoretically prices will fall in the long run. However, tax adviser Dr. Veerinderjeet Singh on 3 August, argued that prices of goods continued to rise notwithstanding the zero rating of GST on certain goods because the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs had failed to implement the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act effectively.

He suggested that the Ministry may need more staff well versed in the accounting systems to be able to monitor unwarranted price increases. Currently it seems this expertise is lacking in this department and illogical price increases of essential goods were prevalent when GST was in force.

Historically, the normal pricing of goods and services in the market is based on the production and supply of goods which is based on economic principles of supply and demand. Under the supply and demand curve, if there is an oversupply of goods, prices will fall and when there is a shortage, prices will increase.

For example, there were spiralling price increases from to in Malaysia mainly due to the scarcity of goods and services, which triggered inflation long before GST came into force. For example, in the s, a sack of bananas could be purchased for about RM However, in , even before GST was implemented, the price of bananas was extremely high, at RM1 for one banana in a supermarket.

Similar price increases were also witnessed for vegetables, fish, dairy, and meat products. So, this does confirm that GST may not be the cause for price increases since all these price increases took place before GST was introduced. Let us study the experiences in other countries that have introduced GST. Was there a price increase or decrease when GST was introduced? In three cases The price of many goods and services changed because of the GST reforms contained in the tax package.

However, it was concluded that some prices increased while other prices remained largely unchanged or even declined. It increased the consumption of food and beverages since it reduced the demand for food-agriculture products because production and supply were maintained to meet demand from consumers. However, in Malaysia, prices increased during the GST regime due to traders hiking prices to protect themselves from the uncertain effects of the new tax.

Also, unscrupulous traders took advantage of the unpredictable situation to increase prices. As such the supposition that GST was the cause for price increases is far from the truth. The recent report by the Market Competition Commission MyCC on market review of key food prices confirmed that one of the main reasons for high food prices is due to the distortion and manipulation in the food supply chain.

This article makes a 3-pronged recommendation to reduce inflationary concerns when the government considers reintroducing GST in Malaysia. Having established that GST is not the primary reason for increase in prices, we consider what can be done to reduce inflationary impact on prices.

Malaysia is not self-sufficient in food production. The country remains a net food importer with a trade deficit of RM For example, in , RM As a first step the government should study this matter and take steps to reduce the food waste so that less food may be imported in the long run.

The huge increase in food imports with a weak ringgit has resulted in import induced inflation which can increase prices without any tax impact. For example, let us assume that one litre of milk produced in Malaysia costs, say RM 1 per litre.

If this milk is imported from Australia due to an exchange rate of RM3 to AUD1, the cost has increased to RM3 in Malaysia without other freight and transportation costs. This same principle applies to all other imported food and dairy products. Prices will increase due to the weak Malaysian ringgit.

So due to our weak ringgit, we are paying more for the imported goods and services. The simple way to reduce inflation is to reduce the quantity of food imports and increase local production of essential food such as local fruits, local animal husbandry, local fish items and so forth. A good example is the recent fall in the price of durians, the drop in prices was mainly due to oversupply not because of any taxes.

Also, the recent sudden spike in computer hardware costs during COVID was due to higher demand since employees and students were mainly working from home using digital technology. Again, this confirms that taxes are not necessarily the cause for price increases. Also, national food security has been recognised as one of the key pillars of the Fourth Industrial Revolution IR4.
