Govt May Get Extra Revenue Of Rm3 45b From Service Tax Expansion

The government is expected to collect additional revenue worth RM3.45 billion from the expansion of the scope of service tax and its increase from six percent to eight percent, according to the Finance Ministry.
The ministry said this in a written reply posted on the Parliament website today in response to a question from Ahmad Fadhli Shaari (PN-Pasir Mas) regarding the increase in national revenue when the new service tax rate came into effect on March 1.
The government has announced in Budget 2024 an increase in service tax - excluding services such as food and beverages, telecommunication services and vehicle parking space provision services.
It also announced the expansion of the scope of service tax to include logistics services, brokerage, guarantee sponsors and karaoke.
In the meantime, the ministry said the federal government's revenue in 2024 is projected to increase to RM312.159 billion after taking into account the tax measures of Budget 2024, contributed by higher tax revenue collection and better economic growth.
It added that tax revenue remains the main contributor to the federal government's revenue which is 79.5 percent of the total revenue, equivalent to 12.57 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) rate.

The amount also covers non-tax revenue representing 20.5 percent, which is equivalent to 3.24 percent of GDP.
“The government enacted the Fiscal Responsibility Act (FRA) 2023 effective Jan 1 to strengthen the country's fiscal governance and discipline, increase revenue mobilisation measures, broaden tax revenue base, improve and review the tax structure and legislation, as well as the provision of tax incentives.
"This step will be realised through the implementation of the Medium Term Revenue Strategy to ensure that medium-term tax planning is more organised and appropriate with spending," it said in reply to a question from Nik Muhammad Zawawi Salleh (PN-Pasir Puteh).
Earlier, the PAS lawmaker asked regarding the government's measures to ensure there is an increase in tax revenue collection, exceeding 12 percent of the GDP, so that more economic recovery programmes can be accelerated.
