The main aims of this study is to determine the levels of teachers’ Knowledge and Comprehension on GST. Other objectives are to identify the most popular medium(s) in gaining GST information and finally to discover the means difference in the level of Comprehension between two groups of teachers. 196 teachers have participated in this study. The instrument used for data collection is questionnaire set, and the results are derived from descriptive and inferential statistic analyses. The analysis on mediums of information indicate the most popular mediums (mean score ? 4) are Television, Discussion with Friends and Newspaper. The overall mean score values for the Knowledge analysis is 3.289 while the overall mean score value for the Comprehension analysis is 3.01. Since the values are both (< 3.5) these findings lead us to conclude that the respondents have shown to have relatively low level of knowledge and comprehension on GST. The findings for the Levene's Test has shown insignificant result which indicates there is no difference in the level of comprehension between the “Field” and the “Non-Field” teachers.
