KUALA LUMPUR: The Government is urging companies and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to utilise the RM250mil Goods and Services (GST) training grant to gain exposure and detailed knowledge on the tax which would be implemented on April 1, 2015.

Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Ahmad Maslan said a large portion of the allocation had yet to be utilised and companies should grab assistance provided by the government.

“The Government hopes companies and SMEs will utilise incentives provided especially when they are free. 

“The RM250 mil grant comprises RM100 mil for training of staff sent by companies and SMEs.” — Bernama
