Refined sugar (or commonly known as white sugar) remains tax-free under the revised sales and service tax (SST) that will take effect on July 1, 2025, said the Finance Ministry.

The ministry said in a statement today that raw sugar used in the production of refined sugar would be subject to a five percent sales tax.

No reason to raise price, ministry says.
