Implementing a Goods as good as Services Tax (GST) while reducing a existent income taxation will usually benefit a wealthier minority, says Tony Pua.
The DAP inhabitant publicity secretary said which right away usually fifteen per cent of a operative race earned sufficient to peculiarity to compensate taxes, which meant 85 per cent of a countrys workforce earned reduction than RM3,000 a month.
What a BN supervision is proposing to do is to revoke a taxes paid by a wealthier fifteen per cent of a operative population, as good as redistributing a taxation weight to a 85 per cent who right away do not consequence sufficient to validate to compensate taxes.
The irony is which right away a supervision is arguing which by taxing a rich less, taxing a bad more, they will be means to source increased supports to support a poor, Pua (picture) said in a statement today.
His remarks today were in response to a statement by Pemandu CEO Datuk Seri Idris Jala, where a latter said which a GST could help dilate a governments taxation bottom as good as provide supports for a bad right away disorder from a global rise in commodity prices.
Pua charged which Jalas remarks were completely impolite in a logic, saying which a correct way to enlarge a countrys income taxation bottom was to implement policies saved by oil as good as gas windfall profits.
Such policies will embody drastically mending a peculiarity of preparation as good as setting a reasonable minimum wage... Once a income levels of Malaysians increase, automatically, formed upon existent taxation structures, more Malaysians will be profitable taxes as good as a supervision will be means to broaden a taxation bottom without burdening a poor, he said.
He also said a supervision needed to implement rival policies, rival auctions for state land to maximise reve! nue, riv al tenders for all privatisation as good as buying projects to minimise cost as good as revoke ! leakages through wastage, rent-seeking as good as corruption.
