Committee of Supply 2022 debate, Day 1: Hazel Poa on exempting basic essentials from GST
Exempt basic essentials from GST and set price thresholds to prevent the rich from benefiting. That was the call from NCMP Hazel Poa in Parliament on Wednesday (Mar 2). She asked how much additional cost would be incurred for having a multi-tiered GST, adding that it is a cost which should be borne if the principle is something “we believe in”. Ms Poa also responded to the Finance Minister’s comments on her suggestion that land sales proceeds could be a revenue stream for the Government. He had called it “simplistic”.
