While the government assures a minimal impactfrom the 2% SST hike, here's why some everyday items might see a rise:
Indirect Impact: Restaurants and food vendors might raise prices to cover their own increased costs from taxable services (e.g., delivery fees, utilities).
Market Adjustments: Businesses may use the SST increase as an opportunity to adjust pricing for various reasons. Not all basic necessities are affected by the SST hike. But a ripple effect can still cause price adjustments in unexpected places.
