Possible Tax Breaks Included in the New Budget
Updated on Monday 07th August 2017
Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani, Malaysia’s Second Minister for Finance, recently shared the Government’s initiative for implementing targeted tax breaks. The Malaysian official declared in an interview that the regime for allowing tax incentives could no longer be a general one, instead the Government has to focus on those industries that need promoting. This means that the tax breaks will be targeted, in order to support certain business sectors, and that small and medium sized companies will be the ones to benefit most out of this change.
In his statement, the Government official also said that tax breaks could be awarded for automatic processes, because of the reported labor shortages.
