Assalamua’alaikum.

6 days before GST starts in Malaysia, now many campaign and seminars being held to educate customers on how GST works. Even in the restaurant such as The Manhattan Fish Market wants their customers to know how GST does not affect too much on the price.

So last Saturday, I was invited by Isaac to attend a food review at The Manhattan Fish Market Nu Sentral. But this is not a regular food review, the marketing team also taught us about the price before GST and after GST being implemented.

In this blogpost, There will be calculation, so make sure to stand by your calculator beside you and correct my calculation if I'm wrong.

Let me discuss about the price first

Before GST

Let say you dine with 1 Sharing Platter that cost you RM57.90.

Then 10% will be charge from the rm57.90 for service charge= RM5.79

Then 6% will be charge from RM57.90 for Govt Tax = RM3.47

So total price is = RM57.90+RM 5.79 + RM3.47 = RM67.20

After GST

Let say you dine with 1 Sharing Platter that cost you RM57.90.

Then 10% will be charge from the rm57.90 for service charge= RM5.79

Subtotal from RM57.90 + RM 5.79 = RM63.69

Then GST charge is 6% from the total of RM63.69 = RM3.82

So the Total is = RM57.90 + RM 5.79 + RM3.82 = RM67.50

Can you see the difference guys?  The difference after GST is only RM0.30!!

But if you have higher price compare to the sharing platter,it will cost you more than RM0.30.

For example, if you spend RM127.90 for Lobster Platter

10% service charge is RM12.79

Subtotal= RM127.90 + RM 12.79=RM140.69

6% GST is charge at RM140.69 = RM8.44

Therefore, the total is = RM140.69 + RM8.44= RM149.13.

Rounding (-RM0.03) = RM 149.10 (after GST)

Before GST is RM148.40.

Which make the difference of RM0.70

Here, we can see the increasing pattern is about RM0.30-RM 0.70 after GST at the total price.

I hope that this entry can give enough explanation about the price before and after GST. And this will not make you afaid to come and dine in at The Manhattan Fish Market.

Visit the nearest Manhattan Fish Market now to enjoy delicious sea food and I guarantee you will satisfy with their menu and the price that they've offer.

Wait for my food review next guys.
