Dear MDBC members,

Join us on Tuesday, 30 January for a special 2 – in – 1 HYBRID event:

* 2024 Budget Briefing by Deloitte Tax Services;
* Special Briefing on e – Invoicing by IRB Malaysia (Internal Revenue Board)

We will get into the details of updates on Budget 2024, themed “Reformasi Ekonomi, Memperkasakan Rakyat” (Economic Reform, Empowering People) and see what changes there have been on the budget, both corporate and personal.  Topics covered will include Personal Income Tax, Corporate and Other Taxes, Tax Incentives, Real Property Gains, Stamp Duty, and Indirect Tax.

The Government intends to implement e – Invoice in stages in an effort to enhance the efficiency of Malaysia’s tax administration management. This is in line with the Twelfth Malaysia Plan, where one of the key focus is on strengthening the digital services infrastructure and digitalizing the tax administration. e – Invoicing will enable near real – time validation and storage of transactions, catering to Business – to – Business (B2B), Business – to – Consumer (B2C) and Business – to – Government (B2G) transactions.  With the implementation timeline for e – Invoicing slated to start in August of this year, it’s important to learn more about e – Invoicing to prepare accordingly.  During our recent briefing on e – Invoicing by Deloitte, our members had many questions.  We have, therefore, now invited IRB for extra engagement.

HYBRID EVENT: As requested in the MDBC Members Satisfaction Survey (MSS), and specifically to cater to our outstation members in Penang and Johor, as well as those located in Singapore or in the Netherlands, we are pleased to offer this as a hybrid event.  Please see registration details for more info.
