KUCHING: The High Court here will deliver its decision on March 13 on the question of whether the Sarawak government can impose state sales tax on Petronas' petroleum products.

Judge Azhahari Kamal Ramli reserved his judgment after hearing submissions in Petronas' judicial review proceedings against the state sales tax on Tuesday .

Petronas counsel Datuk Malik Imtiaz Sarwar had submitted on Monday that the power to impose state sales tax was"very narrow" and confined by restrictions in the Constitution to matters on the state list. Fong said Article 95B was incorporated into the Federal Constitution as a special constitutional arrangement agreed upon before the formation of Malaysia to provide adequate revenue for Sabah and Sarawak.
