Committee of Supply 2022 debate, Day 1: Muhamad Faisal Abdul Manap on ‘double taxing’ water usage
Applying GST to the Water Conservation Tax (WCT) amounts to “double taxation”, which low-income Singaporeans, especially those living in public rental flats, can ill afford. Making that point in Parliament on Wednesday (Mar 2), MP Muhamad Faisal Abdul Manap said these needy households are already struggling with utility bills despite receiving U-Save rebates. He urged the Government to seriously consider exempting them from paying GST on the WCT.
