naikan je lah cukai. walanon suka cukai nanti dapat brim

U abolish all subsidy, increase taxes all around from personal to corporate. Then u introduce new taxes.

Fastest way to reduce population in Malaysia.

not enough? we now already bising2

Still waiting on that bankruptcy proceedings against Jibgor after he lost his appeal.

Pls collect more tax from rich people

Cukur another justification to tax the "Rich" or "T20" aka urban family earning barely rm12k

Collected and corrupted? No thx

Dont give new idea to pmx.

even rafizi is saying it

that is why he start his shops Fleximart, kesum

he saying be brave and start your own business

easier to reduce GDP so the ratio is better

Isn't not enough, it's banyak lari tax .....too many leakages.

tak habis2 mau float the ideas of charging more income tax for the general populace.

go collect more tax from the biz/corps la. why the fark gov charge next to zero tax to those tycoons

example: the recent Freeport

Malaysia Energy Hub Tied to King Eyes $35 Billion in Investments
Maharani Freeport Megaproject

very simple... set the lowest tax bracket for salary from 0 to 5K at 2% tax rate...

problem solved.

Go look at the last photo

A lot commenters here don’t understand "Raising more revenue through direct and indirect tax" is a broad term and doesn’t necessarily means increasing tax rate. It could also be achieved via

1. increasing tax base - making more types of income, assets and transactions subject to tax

2. improving tax compliance and enforcement - making sure ppl and businesses pay tax.

remove subsidies.

BUDI already everyone meroyan.

Naik tax you will see more protest.

We collected more than Brunei. Oh wai...

Ok, bump it up to SG level then.

By that fuker logic if we are at SG level tax then we will have SG level service and infrastructure right?

Or that fuker going to come up with another "itu tak buleh, apple orange lychee strawberry" argument?

now do debt-to-gee dee pee

they should include zakat into the calculation also for taxation.... cos ours here can knock off tax with zakat...

from google:
Zakat Collection
Collection Figures: Zakat collection is managed by individual states, and a national aggregate figure for 2023/2024 was not found in the search results. However, data from key states indicates collections are in the millions to low billions of ringgit per state.
The Selangor Zakat Board collected a record RM1.22 billion in 2024.
Federal Territories (FT) collected RM937.03 million in 2022.

(this is just 1 state and 1 FT)

Personal Income Tax Collection
Total Collection (2023): The Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN) collected approximately RM40.96 billion in individual income tax revenue.

He havnt paid a single cent AND TAKE YOUR TAX PAYER MONEY IN PRISON.

Cannot. Small Country EASY to manage.

Soalan Susah Dont ASK stupid people

Tax low but debt to gdp ratio high not address? Talk kok punya bankers.

lmao no such thing when making babies is the fav. hobby for some.

Or reduce GDP also can

Due to the bad weather resulting in reduced/bad harvests, your chap fan tax gonna increase soon too..

U collect 50% tax also no use if most of it goes to those feudal lords and their families. U know, meow2 and helang.

collect from all the menteri or politician, sure become number 1

Shallow logic.

The kind of self entitled mentality of the B40 who paid practically zero income tax, enjoyed the most govt assistance while wrong blaming their own frustration in life against ppl who achieved success and foot most of the nation’s bills.

Zxxxt is the solution?

made infographic so long, yet embarrased to include the most prominent advice from the World Bank:

reintro the GST.

Najib jugak yang betul.

OK mr smartass

DID THEY CALCULATE CAR TAX INTO THIS OR NOT??

because our cars are taxed heavily. Lanciau

Zakat collected not used on overall citizens, only tax is allowed to be used for every citizen.

what to do.those employer all greedy one. pay peanut to worker. increment also peanut. so the worker salary not in tax bracket.

Pay zakat no need pay tax ?

Hak kito.

By the way, should list out how much tax our politicians paid.

And how much tax monies did MOF wasted to make these?

Tax exempt.

It’s easy to echo the popular narrative adored by the general dumb down public, in defiance of logic and real world economy.

So that's the problem of not enough collection?

IQ78?

I appreciate your effort to reply to my (clearly a) shitpost lolz

You don't have to worry, my worldview and perspective towards people are much larger than you.

All these so called experts with their doctorates conveniently left out that Denmark and Norway are the top 5 in the least corruption.

These experts think with our high corruption index if tax more will channel back to the public?

And here i thought ktards are the best at tokok. Lmao!

isnt they say after life more important ? hmmmmmm ? maybe ?

Overtaxed the top bracket and they will move outside the tax jurisdiction. Soon the country will be left with only self entitled parasites leeching on every social support they took for granted while the nation coffers eventually run dried.

Also fastest way to change goverment. Guaranteed.

with e invoice, let's see how far they can run..
with this system, when big ticket items are purchased, your TIN is a must... sooner rather than later, LHDN will come a calling..

Umno and BMX only wanted to tax businesses and avoid general public.

It doesn't cover all businesses lo ....

When I saw this image, I tried asking Gemini for an explanation, and it responded that Malaysia will face a “fiscal dilemma.” even right now.
As tax collection decreases due in part to the shrinking non-Bumiputera population and the declining number of taxable corporations
Malaysia may eventually reach a point where there is not enough revenue to support development.

Nah, the amount is not huge.

Gov shd encourage REAL FDI and not potential FDI…. 😂😂😂😂😂

Zaman Madani zaman ketimbang mencanak

they say in tik tok and fb

for those who do business less than rm500k/yr... but if the person buys a car, or from a company over that limit, they will require your details...
the government may revert to every businesses, bo one knows..

Agree.. should have headcount tax. Those that buat anak like nobody's business should pay higher taxes .

Who would be on a right mind to buy cash for a over limit business sales revenue. You don't understand the reason for the below 500k annual sales thing meh... you see all those roadside stalls & warong warong ...got it?

those who buy from the warong, would eventually need to but a big ticket item... or even the warong seller may need to buy a big ticket item..
so their details will be captured...so eventually everyone will be contributing to taxes and it will add to the total collection...
only tax n death are certain..

want me pay more tax ? then let me choose which sector the tax I contributed to goes to.

TBH I doesn't want it goes to tangkap basah team , Jakim.

so many b40 here no need pay tax, how?
gov also don't want enforce strictly to collect tax from org kito

those bazaar stall owner got 7-10k sales a day
Ada bayar tax tak?

20% of tax payer contributing 80% of tax
If not second bottom in the region memang ada hantu

increase more tax is just direct kill middle class while middle class is what drive the workforce of malaysia also.

should cut more subsidies, tax b40. future b40 will think more before they breed

gaji 3k pun tak cukup makan lagi nak tax ? nak makan ini ..

AI Overview
Malaysia's tax position in ASEAN is complex; it is not definitively lower or higher across the board but varies by the type of tax
.

Overall Tax Burden (Tax-to-GDP Ratio): Malaysia's tax-to-GDP ratio (13.1% in 2023) is actually lower than the average for the Asia-Pacific region and below several ASEAN peers, including Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines. This suggests a lower overall tax collection relative to the size of its economy.

Corporate Income Tax (CIT): Malaysia's standard corporate tax rate of 24% (for large companies) is among the highest in ASEAN, significantly higher than Singapore's flat 17% rate, but lower than the Philippines' 30%.
However, for SMEs, Malaysia offers competitive, lower rates (e.g., 15% on the first MYR 150,000).

Personal Income Tax (PIT): Malaysia's highest marginal personal income tax rate (up to 30%) is lower than the top rates in Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Thailand (which can reach 35%). It is, however, higher than Singapore's top rate of 24%.

world bank already advised: reinstate GST!

yes, even pasar malam also can kena GST as long as gov facilitate the system accordingly.

with GST. regardless of your ethnicity, income bracket, immigrants, citizens and even tourists, from legitimate or shadow economy, ALL kena tax fairly. you spend more, you kena more, simple and straightforward.

blame LGE for removing GST.

A lot of people do not realize now SST structure is charging multiple taxes along the same revenue stream. It means producer 1 is being charged SST, then producer 1 sells to producer 2 and producer 2 is also being charged SST, etc. At this point, SST could be collecting even more money than GST. Reinstating GST is no longer the sure fire way to get more taxes, it might even get less.


Many goods/services used to be exempted under GST is being charged SST now too.

the whole point of argument for the past 2-3 pages is about fairness in tax. not about revenue.

and even if SST indeed collected more, the unfairness still persists.

This post has been edited by letitsnow: Nov 30 2025, 04:23 PM

But this article is about collecting more taxes, not about fairness.

Yes, there are a lot of unfairness in current SST structure. But it is also said to be "targeted" tax collection so that those more well off will pay more. Looks at the recent private sector dividend tax and capital gain tax in asset disposal.

Its a bird
Its a plane
Its pmtax

Thread starter confirm no pay tax

Only gst matter?
Those roadside nasi lemak ramly burger stall earn big during bazaar, earned way more than m40 annually with just 1 bazaar sales macam mana?

Those baru la the reason why low tax collected

Look at our corruption and wastage.

Nah no thanks. Taxation is theft.

Interesting take. This basically says a portion of the demographic is sinking the ship

I knew a businessman pays million in Z instead of income tax, because he say why want pay tax, if pay tax also gov simply use the money.

if all type M have this mentality really gg malaysia

Economists must write shit as year end is approaching..must meet KPI..Economists are scammers

To steal more?

I wonder if zakat is included in that 12.6%

The problem is not that enough taxes collected 🤦‍♀️ but the way tax is collected and being spent

With BMX in place no matter how much taxes being collected 🤦‍♀️ the way he spent is the actual problem

GST need to be in place then followed fiscal discipline and cut spending and cut the govt size with less ministers in place

Collect dari keluarga Bijan dulu..

must implement GST on the gerai jual pisang goreng, most of them drive alphard to pick up the banana

then maybe it is time to change the tax law....

Rokek SST Suka Suka Tax

Another tard who think tax collection only from income tax

Reintro gst solve problem and collect more

ABCGST.....

owai

Braindead country tha5 decided below 3k salary no tax.

Although minimal we still.must tax. So the rakyat understand a bit about tax system. Also the main reason why vandalism so damn high in low socio area. Lesedaram civik literally zero. They think everything goverent provided fall from the sky

GST is tax or not?

More tax for gov to songlap?

I agree to pay more tax if those in authority who are caught for corruption, misappropriating funds, and stealing from govt coffers are executed.

Gov do better please

Pull in high investor foreign company do business here then hire locals

You do think many times when people get good salary then can talk about high tax

that's why need e-invoice or gst :X

GST! Every bloody Tom, Dick and Harry also need to pay. T20 spend more will need to pay more, thank you very much. Those fake B40s who evade tax and those B40 who refused to improve themselves or make rational decision still need to pay their fucking dues.

No tq. Those who want to pay more feel free do donasi. Don't simply call other to pay.

Company not enough revenue cover also look to cut wastage and expense. Only public sector keep on seek to expand bureaucracy even when know it is wastage.

This is the very reason why Najib has to implement GST. Malaysia needed such reform but Pakatan want to go back to cave era

I remember Pakatan saying, if there are no corruption, there is no need for GST

Funny thing is, after they became the government, they start to introducing more and more taxes. Digital tax. Sugar Tax etc.

Knowing Glord, pobably that's what he's planning all along, or has done so while using otger mediums to justify his rear end.

GST easily collect 40-50b
