A recent article from The Star Online reported that now only 435 restaurants are still eligible to charge service tax from 1 July 2008 after the government increased sales threshold from RM500,000 to RM3 million. There used to be 4,800 restaurants that can legally charge service tax. You can find the list of the 435 restaurants here. So fellow consumers, BEWARE!
I would like to add that The Star Online article stated that we can check on the list of the restaurants from the customs website, so naturally, I went to our government portal www.gov.my to look for it. I tried a search but nothing came up. Guess what gave me the right website? Google. Sigh...
