KUALA LUMPUR: British American Tobacco’s (BAT) Malaysia managing director Erik Stoel said today illicit cigarette traders raked in profits of RM1.2 billion in 2018
“It is not acceptable that 60% of the market is made up of illegal cigarettes. These sellers do not and will not comply with any form of excise and tobacco regulation
“This remains a big concern for the business and deserves immediate attention from the government
“Better legislation has been put in place in the form of stricter penalties, which now needs to be capitalised on,” said Stoel at a press conference after the company’s 58th AGM here
Stoel said while it was encouraging that the government had publicly stated its intention to combat illegal cigarette trade, more than RM1 billion in excise duty was being lost to the illegal trade
He added that it was critical for continuous and intensified enforcement action to be carried out by the Royal Malaysian Customs Department in tandem with other law enforcement agencies to address the issue
“Besides vigorous enforcement action, another key driver of the illegal cigarette trade is affordability
“Therefore, consideration also needs to be given by regulators to develop a solution which will allow consumers to move away from illegal cigarettes,” said Stoel
The Illicit Cigarette Study (ICS) by research firm Nielsen in 2018 showed that Malaysia had the biggest illicit cigarette market in the world
BAT recorded RM637 million in operating profit in 2018, which was a 2.2% decline in comparison with the previous year
The company paid 155 sen in dividends in 2018, which represented a payout of 95%
“If we can get more Malaysians to understand that illegal cigarette trade has an economic and social impact on the country, we are confident that in the long run, everyone would stand to gain — whether through recovering taxable revenue that could be invested in the development of the country or through increased job opportunities in the legal cigarette industry,” added Stoel. - FMT
