KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 8 — The government is expected to collect about RM800 million in annual revenue from the implementation of the capital gains tax (CGT) effective March 1, 2024,...
Statements allegedly made before Pelangai polls: Investigation papers on PAS’ Sanusi, Jengka assemblyman submitted to DPP’s office, say policeAccording to the ministry, the government’s decision not to impose the CGT on listed shares is to ensure that the capital market continues to grow for existing listed companies and in line with efforts to maintain investor confidence.
In a written reply in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday, the ministry said the CGT, to be imposed at a rate of 10 per cent on net gains, will only be applicable to the disposal of unlisted shares of companies, limited liability partnerships, cooperatives and trusts, whether local or foreign entities that are shareholders in a company.
“This will also allow us to raise the competitiveness of the country’s capital market at the global level,” the MoF said in response to a question from Datuk Mohd Radzi Md Jidin . After taking into account stakeholders’ feedback, the government is of the view that this maiden step of imposing CGT on the disposal of unlisted local shares by taxpayers other than individuals is appropriate, the ministry said.Among the stakeholders which provided feedback were the Malaysian International Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Associated Chinese Chambers Of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia, and Malaysian Investment Banking Association.
“This step is also in line with the direction of facilitating and improving aspects of tax administration, in addition to being one of the efforts to diversify the sources of national income,” he said. — Bernama
