Additional charges prepaid reload ???

Why charges this tax now after all these years when Telcons have been absorbing it?

Let us see why these charges are??

In accordance to the service tax law, prepaid reload and prepaid sim packs are subjected to applicable service tax. this is similar to the service tax levied on food and beverage purchase from restaurants and hotels. Prepaid calls and sms charges were more expensive then have progressively dropped over the years.

Customers user to pay RM0.60 per minute when the service was first introduced but today it is as RM0.12 per minute.

In addition, customers now enjoy various promotion such as free airtime and bonus credits amongst others as part of the benefit of being a prepaid customer. Prepaid service is the only whereby the service tax has been absorbed by telcons, not by the customer.
