DAP Finance Minister does not know the difference between consolidated fund & GST refund account?


Our Finance Minister recently made an allegation that BN "stole" the GST refund money. As with most of his statements, Guan Eng is again taking advantage of the people's lack of knowledge of how government finances work in order to make a completely false political attack.



Guan Eng's main reason why he said BN "stole" GST refund money is that all GST money was paid to the government consolidate funds and not in the GST refunds trust account.

The GST bill which later became the GST act, was tabled in parliament where Guan Eng was also present The Act clearly  explains how GST collections is treated.

As with any tax revenue of any kind, GST collections are paid to the government's consolidated funds. Based on the advice of Customs, a budgeted amount for GST refunds are then allocated to a trust account.

This is the same mechanism used by other countries which has implemented a GST system including Singapore. Singapore's GST act Section II Administration, clause 5 states:

"5.—(1)  The Comptroller shall be responsible generally for the carrying out of the provisions of this Act and for the collection of tax and shall pay all amounts collected in respect thereof into the Consolidated Fund."

The Singapore government also puts their GST collections in their consolidated fund exactly like what Malaysia's government does. Does it also mean Singapore's PAP also "stole" GST refund money?

For Guan Eng's statement that "BN stole the GST refunds money" would mean that no company out of the hundreds of thousands in Malaysia would have received their GST refund.

Would it make sense that after 3 years, not a single one of these hundreds of thousands of company has come out in public that BN "stole" their GST refund and they have never gotten back their refund money?

Yes, there were instances where the government was late in paying GST refunds especially when the GST system was first implemented. But such delays were slowly improved as people got familiar with how the GST system works.

Most delays are mostly due to incomplete documentation from those applying for the refund. In most cases anyway, refunds are also "netted off" or "offset" against the GST payable by the companies too.

Be careful of what our Finance Minister says. All his statements are not 100% reliable or the truth as his main skill-set is to throw accusations and play political games.

Recently he and his assistant Tony Pua were publicly called a malicious liar in a world-side statement by a China state-owned company which is part of the 4th largest company in the world when Guan Eng implied that this company along with the EXIM bank of China had colluded with the BN government to engange in theft and money laundering over two pipeline projects.

Until now, Guan Eng and Tony Pua have dared not rebut or comment on this China state-owned company's calling them malicious liars.

  7. Si gone ni tau mahacai byk uneducated tu yg putarrrrr nak tunjuk org salah..

    Semua cukai kerajaan akan masuk ke tabung gabungan bersama kerajaan/consolidated.. cukai kerajaan ni byk bkn gst je.. bawah pbt pun ada cukainya.. jd polisi kerajaan adalah apa saja cukai kerajaan akan masuk ke consolidated fund dulu.. selepas itu baru masuk ke akaun masing masing.. tu secara dasarnya..

    Suka sgt banding dgn singapore.. singapore pun buat yg sama.. mengapa tak kata singapore penipu curi duit rakyat.. kebanyakan negara dunia menggunakan polisi yg sama..

    1. Si gone dan si puaka ni pakar akauntan atau pakar membelit?

      Bertahun tahun laksana gst takde co yg komplen yg tak dpt kembali/gst refund.. yg ada co didakwa kerana melarikan cukai..

      Betul ada sedikit kelewatan refund tapi kes itu berlaku pd thn pertama perlaksanaan gst.. thn thn berikut tiada masalah..
