Tax Developments

The honourable Minister of Finance, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, re-tabled the 2023 Budget on 24 February 2023.

One of the noteworthy proposals is the introduction of a new tax in 2023 on luxury goods (the “Luxury Goods Tax”) which came as a surprise to many. It was also proposed that the Voluntary Disclosure and Amnesty Programme which has ended on 30 September 2022 be re-introduced for the period from 1 June 2023 to 31 May 2024.

In addition, there are a number of proposals in relation to Duties and Sales Tax exemptions, amongst others, on electric vehicles, nicotine gum and nicotine patch as well as studio and filming production equipment.
