To all my fellow MWF members, just want to get some understanding on the GST topic. I just arrived back to our beloved MY from my business trip oversea and the first thing after I was touched down, I directly went to the "watchshop" in KLIA. I was asking the salesperson on the GST, do watches selling in international airport with GST after 1st April, they said Yes.
I was caught in surprised, I thought what selling in international airport is GST free or duty free. Then I went up to the net and search MY customs rules. Quoted from the website :
"4. GOODS THAT CAN BE SUPPLIED AT DFS FREE OF DUTY AND GST
Under the Customs Act 1967 and Customs Regulations 1977, not all goods are
allowed to be sold free of duty at DFS. Only certain categories of goods are
allowed to be sold or supplied free of duty. Those goods that are allowed to be
sold free of duty and GST include the following:
a) Foods products
b) Chocolate ,Confectionery
c) Liquor, Cigarettes, Tobacco
d) Leather product
e) Toilet preparation
f) Textiles, wearing apparel, Clothing Accessories
g) Footwear, Headgear
h) Tableware, Glassware (ceramic, porcelain, glass)
i) Jewellery
j) Articles of base metal
k) Typewriter, calculating machine
l) Domestic Electrical Appliances
m) Telephone set
n) Audio, Video media
o) Television Receivers, Video Cassette Recorders, Radio Broadcast
Receivers
p) Toys, Games
q) Cigarette Lighter, Ball Pen (plastic)
r) Sports goods"
So is the watch in the category of Jewellery? or Clothing accessory. OR we need to pay the GST?? Masters in MWF please share some ideas, thank you.
