Netflix is 10.98 per month, with GST it will be 11.75.

If there are 1 million households subscribed to Netflix, it will be an additional $770,000 per month for the govt.

One year is $9,240,000.

Easy money. they clever leh. they make us indispensable with on-demand tv then charge GST. I think It is time to buy new harddisk and torrent. 😎
