DBKL still charging GST for parking (Updated)

PETALING JAYA: The Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has been inconsistent in zero-rating the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on parking.
There have been instances where a 6% tax was imposed on parking charges after June 1, according to DAP Socialist Youth National Secretary Bryan Lew.
He provided images of DBKL parking receipts which had the 6% tax, as well as those without.
"Why DBKL is still charging GST 6%, which clearly shown in the receipt as 'Termasuk GST 6%' which means the fee is inclusive of GST 6%?" Lew asked in a statement issued today.
"I have come across some which I believe is caused by system discrepancies and negligence to conduct any thorough checking before issuance of parking receipt by DBKL. I am surprised how DBKL is charging, not charging or absorbing the GST on the parking fee."
He asked if it is a system failure or DBKL has not fully rectified and revised all parking fees with 0% GST throughout Kuala Lumpur.
"Has DBKL conducted thorough check on this before rolling out the revised system to avoid such ridiculous mistake? I strongly doubt it," he added.
Lew said DBKL needs to explain the discrepancy and asked if the council will spend another huge sum of money to rectify and revise the system.
Meanwhile, DBKL executive director (planning) Datuk Mohd Najib Mohd said DBKL will check with its sole parking operator, Vista Summerose Sdn Bhd.
He said while he was not aware of the complaints, immediate action would be taken to rectify the issue.
"Supposedly, after June 1, there shouldn't be any more GST charges," he said. "If there is, then that must have been our operator. Send your complaints to us, and we will check with them."
