00:00 Will the government consider reintroducing GST during the Trump plan?
00:10 I think I've mentioned just now that one of the strategies is to widen our revenue base
00:19 and we are focusing on developing and rolling out capital gains tax next year in 2024.
00:29 Of course government will stick to that strategy and we will be open to going through whatever
00:38 ways we can to achieve that fiscal sustainability through a wider revenue base.
00:46 Whether it's going to be capital gains tax, whether it's going to be GST, whether it's
00:51 going to be any form of direct or indirect taxes, I prefer to keep that strategy open
00:59 and then we will decide on case to case basis on year to year basis.
01:06 So any announcements with regards to whatever new tax, whatever new revenue, that will be
01:16 made by the finance minister from one budget announcement to another.
01:22 Thank you.
