Malaysia is proposing Goods and Services Tax soon and before the government implement, it needs feedback on the understanding and acceptance by the public. This study is conducted to fulfill the gap in identifying the perception of GST among the educator in Politeknik Tuanku Sultanah Bahiyah (PTSB). Measurements for perception were adapted from previous study. Questionnaires were distributed to 291 lectures in PTSB and 210 returned giving a 72% response rate. Descriptive and inferences statistic were used to analyses. Finding shows that there were a very low understanding and awareness among PTSB’ academic staffs and this consistent with previous findings. Government need enhance education and awareness campaign among public in order for GST to implement with much resistance.
