Top Story with Thanneermalai Somasundaram of Thannees Tax Consulting Services

As we approach 2025 and the tax filing season in April, it's always good to get a head start on fulfilling our fiscal duty to the country. For 2023, Malaysia's tax revenue stood at 12.6% of the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which is below the World Bank's minimum ideal level of 15%. Nevertheless, tax incentives may provide some much-needed relief to help cope with the rising cost of living. Helping us unpack the tax reliefs available for the 2024 assessment year is Thanneer-malai Soma-sun-daram, Managing Director of Thannees Tax Consulting Services.
