what if they didnt register ?

for example, i make a website and sell underwear, with payment gateway anybody on the planet can make transaction and pay me, once i collected the money, i ship out the item to their address, who cares its in israel or ukraine, i just ship, do i need to register to ukraine or israel gov for shipping things to their country ?

taxed at customs i guess

thats the problem i purchase something low value, maybe rm10, ship in envelop or small package, how the custom trace the item value and tax me RM1 and how do i pay that RM1 ? the manpower cost of tracing and collecting payment far exceed the tax they gain.

then custom will detain your delivery and make you personally goto customer warehouse at Sepang to pickup your RM10 toy?
or you can pay runner RM50 to represent you at sepang?

how does this work? terimakasih madani

in corrupt countries like afrika, add beaucracy to increase likelyhood of bribery.

i think all parcel have to mention the value of the object inside
even if u go send stuff at J&T, they'll also ask u to fill in the value of the stuff inside

but "local" seller (person actually living in malaysia) also source their inventory from china/oversea...

that is not a world standard, you do that here, doesnt mean entire world do that, and even its written, in japanese, korean, manafaskar, and currency in all different currency, how u gonna handle ?

thats why the current system in place, custom only stop expensive package and tax kao kao, ignore all the sardine, cause the manpower to handle all the sardines completely not worth it, its like 10x more work(far more small packages), and 10x smaller income.

yup buy RM 0.10 runberbands need provide cerification and supporting document and declare it to custom. custom need go throught alm the documentation and access it value and tax it RM 0.01. all in a days work. time well spent.

they're creating jobs

immigration and customs kan complain lack of manpower
now with new stream of revenue, they can finally hire more manpower

Yeap

Tats right..

But he prefer to pattern banyak

since need more manpower to check the RM20 underwear package, will need to recruit another 10K government workers like greece, argentina, venezuale and zimbabwe?
ayam konopuis on this.

I am not economy expert

So I ask if it's really want you mean.. with this 10% tax, our MYR will not depreciate as bad as it is depreciating now?

my common sense tell me its not going to work and custom will just open 1 eye close 1 eye, not stopping anything, cause they dont have the capacity to trace/keep/store that many small package per day.

Just like all those subsidies mechanism. End up costing more for enforcement.
Or they charge from retail site. Which will just make people buy from online less.

That's one of the reasons for postponement.
Customs headache over tracking, enforcement, categorisation, recording, reporting.

I am saying in general, the government can choose few ways to deal with increased spending.

Taxation is not popular because it puts less money in people's pocket. GST isn't popular because everyone gets taxed. But taxation has net effect of decreasing money supply in the system in some ways because there is less ringgit circulating in the market which has effect on consumption and inflation. Less people spend , less demand for good, prices of good fall.

Taxation also increases government revenue and reduces deficit, which investors like as they will see Malaysia as stable. Ringgit will be stable.


If you don't tax, government has no way to get more money but resort to borrowing by issuing debt papers, which has net effect of increasing ringgit supply vs US dollar in market. In long run, our deficit will be high, and debt reaching 1.5 trillion now, which looks very bad for investors. Even local investors are worried about it and convert their Ringgit to USD and SGD, making ringgit depreciates.

You will still get RM2000 in your hand, but that RM2000 can buy very little things.. like what is happening to ringgit vs SGD....

Yeah.... Might as well introduce gst balik.


Pmx. Sungguh

maybe dont spend billions on stealth ships and moral pulis? then dont need to issue debt paper
or is that too hard to understand?



As expected, Hishammuddin did not state any financial cost of the project apart from saying that the vendors of the project have financial commitments of RM4 billion. As the government already has paid some RM6.1 billion for the project, we can assumed that the RM9.1 billion ceiling price will be breached. As I stated earlier, the estimates for the project cost – if it was started in January 2022 – was RM14 billion.

Why is the estimates to restart the project important? The previous defence minister had already told the government will not pay more than the ceiling price (RM9.1 billion) though he did not say who will pay for the higher costs. I am told that Boustead Heavy Engineering Corporation (BHIC) – the parent company of BNS – will pay for the the costs overrun (some RM5 billion) by issuing an Islamic sukuk (bonds

Budget 2022: RM1.5bil for Islamic affairs under PM's Dept
WebOct 29, 2021 · Budget 2022: RM1.5bil for Islamic affairs under PM's Dept. PETALING JAYA: RM1.5bil has been earmarked for the management and development of Islamic affairs …



One of the more recent gripes was about JAKIM’s budget, which was increased from RM943 million last year to RM956.6 million this year. And while the Religious Affairs Minister Idris Ahmad had explained that the increase was to cover the department’s operational costs, like rental and programs organized by the department, some weren’t convinced.

Perhaps the biggest gripe about this allocation is that we don’t know why JAKIM needs that much money in the first place, or what they even do with it. Some had pointed out that religious matters are mostly under state purview anyway, so the large budget for a federal religious body is questionable. Others are worried that the money won’t be used to address real problems.

everything under $500
So basically almost 90% of online purchases ah?
dont want to tax china or other foreign based imports so just slap everything with 10%

So gomen also need to spend wisely.. RM100 ewallet was not necessary, those that have moved to cashless gonna stay with cashless, and those that still prefer cash, just gonna dump the ewallet app after finishing the RM100.

RM100 x 10 million.. that's huge.

.. and 2 billion for jakim.

Instead of removing GST completely, turning it into 1% would have been helpful until today.

Also, a lot of those evading tax.. gomen should go after them.

I import stuff directly from brand owner with yearly sales and purchase agreement, service center, providing after sales support and goods return. Have to pay duty and tax upon arrival in port Klang

Meanwhile some clever consumer decided to order from taobao, change plug themselves and use it. But when things spoilt they want service but I cannot offer because it follows batch number.

Good initiative by government btw.
