PM: RM50 for credit card not a big deal
HUA HIN: Describing Budget 2010 as “painless”, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the people should not complain about the Government’s decision to impose a RM50 annual service tax on principal credit and charge cards.
Instead, the Prime Minister said they should look at the overall benefits offered by the Govern-ment in the Budget.
“They are getting the RM1,000 tax relief and those paying tax at 27% will now pay 26%.
“So, they get two (relief measures) and only have to pay RM50 (per credit card). Don’t tell me they cannot pay RM50?” he said after a meeting at the 15th Asean Summit here yesterday.
Najib, who arrived here on Friday after tabling the Budget in Parliament, had earlier asked the media on the reaction back home to his maiden Budget.
tax from 27% to 26%..just helping highest income ppl to become richer..RM1000 is tax relief..not rebate..so i still don't see my RM1000 extra in my pocket..pls be realistic..don't try to beat around the bushes..
ReplyDeleteWe use credit card is to prevent to carry so much money out when we want to buy things. We should not complaint? What the hell he talking about. He taking away our money like robbing us and ask us don't complaint? He is too selfish and only thinking himself. He thought everyone afford to pay the RM50? If we afford to pay, we do not need to use a credit card. Stupid!
