The trade balance relates to the development work for the online tax monitoring project (“the Project”) and is repayable upon the commencement of the said project. On 3 December 2014, the Company received a revised letter of award under the service tax regime to develop the Project. Nevertheless, the GST was implemented on 1 April 2015 and the service tax regime was replaced by the GST regime whereby the Project has been varied. Accordingly, the Project was being reviewed to cater for certain requirements and enhancements following the implementation of GST. A technical committee together with a steering committee have been established by the relevant authorities for this purpose. The amendments to the relevant Act for the purpose of the implementation of the Project have been completed and came into effect from 1 January 2017. An internal trial run was carried out to ensure any further technical issues in relation to the Project are resolved prior to commercialisation in the near future. Effective 1 June 2019, it was announced by the Ministry of Finance that a zero-rated GST will be imposed. Subsequent to this announcement, the GST regime has been abolished and replaced by the Sales and Services Tax (“SST”). Hence, the Project has been temporarily suspended. Accordingly, full impairment on the amount due from the associate has been provided in the financial period ended 2018. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 253
