Notebook Prices Unlikely to Rise Despite GST Claims

Some news reports claimed that notebook prices would go up because of a new tax (GST) on the paper used to make them.

However, this is incorrect.

The tax on the specific paper used for notebooks is actually zero percent, just like notebooks themselves.

There's another category of paper that does have a higher tax, but it's for different uses.

The government is working to clarify any confusion, but for now, notebook prices are unlikely to increase due to this.

Basically, no extra tax means no extra cost.
