This ongoing monitoring aims to ensure voluntary and consistent tax compliance, in line with the principle of fairness in the country's taxation system.
KUALA LUMPUR - A total of 5,800 taxpayers have been identified for failing to submit their Income Tax Return Forms (BNCP) through the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia's (LHDN) e-Invoicing monitoring system.
Following compliance actions aimed at taxpayers at risk of failing to report their income, LHDN reported that these individuals subsequently submitted their BNCP, declaring a total income of RM484 million, which contributed an additional RM82 million in tax revenue.
In a statement issued today, LHDN stated that since the implementation of e-Invoicing, it has been receiving data from individuals and companies conducting business transactions since August 1 of the previous year. The department has been actively monitoring taxpayer data verified in the MyInvois system.
This ongoing monitoring aims to ensure voluntary and consistent tax compliance, in line with the principle of fairness in the country's taxation system.
"As of today, LHDN has processed approximately 413 million e-Invoices, with over 83,000 taxpayers participating. This includes taxpayers from phases one to three, who are required to implement e-Invoicing, as well as voluntary participants from phases four and five,' the statement read.
LHDN expressed satisfaction with the positive response from taxpayers but emphasiaed that those whose grace periods have ended must fully comply with e-Invoicing guidelines.
Taxpayers are urged to maintain up-to-date records and ensure full compliance to avoid enforcement actions.
For assistance, LHDN offers dedicated advisory services, including a 24-hour helpdesk at 03-8682 8000, MyInvois Live Chat, and email support at myinvois@hasil.gov.my. Taxpayers can also visit LHDN offices or submit feedback via the MyInvois customer form at feedback.myinvois.hasil.gov.my. - BERNAMA

Malaysia defends key policies in US trade talks, says PM Anwar
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia was among the few countries that stood firm on protecting key national policies during trade negotiations with the United States (US), Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim told Parliament on Tuesday. Anwar said Malaysia rejected several US demands, including challenges to the country's pro-Bumiputera policy, an affirmative action programme that benefits the majority ethnic Malays and other indigenous communities. 'We still managed to secure a 19 per cent tariff rate. Most importantly, we defended the Bumiputera policy, which the US considers discriminatory and contrary to international trade principles. 'But we stood firm, Malaysia must uphold this policy, and in the end, it was accepted,' he said during ministerial question time in the Dewan Rakyat. Anwar said that while Malaysia maintained its position on non-negotiable issues, it took a pragmatic stance on others, particularly those involving trade mechanisms such as import and export regulations. 'I didn't want to risk tariff rates of 25 per cent or even 40 per cent. Malaysia is a trading nation, and the US is one of our major trade partners. It's easy to score symbolic victories at home, but the country could suffer and hundreds of thousands of people would feel the impact. As Prime Minister, I have to protect the people's interests,' he said. He added that the government was willing to make concessions where possible, not only with the US, but also with other trading partners, including China. - Bernama

‘Will reduce gradually': PM says sudden deficit cuts risk hurting education, STR and healthcare allocations
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 5 — The Madani government is gradually reducing the fiscal deficit in phases to lessen the national debt burden, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. He said that if the deficit were to be reduced suddenly, there is a risk that it would hinder additional allocations for educational activities, the Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah (STR) assistance and health. Anwar said the fiscal deficit was recorded at 5.5 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2022. This was gradually reduced to five per cent in 2023 and further reduced to 4.1 per cent in 2024. 'Our target is to reduce the deficit gradually in phases. As long as the deficit is not reduced, the debt amount will increase. 'That is why, from the debt perspective, I said in 2021 that the new debt amounted to RM100 billion; in 2022, RM99 billion and in 2023, the new debt amount fell to RM92.6 billion. In 2024, it will further be decreased to RM76.8 billion,' he said during the ministerial question time in the Dewan Rakyat today. Anwar said last year, STR and SARA rose to RM15 billion, and the Education Ministry received the highest increase of up to RM64 billion, while the Health Ministry received a RM45 billion rise. He said the policy implemented has been viewed positively following a rise in foreign and domestic investor confidence. — Bernama

Over-50s outnumber 20s in South Korean workforce for first time
Data from corporate tracker Leaders Index showed that, as of end-2024, employees in their 20s accounted for 19.8 per cent of the workforce at 124 leading firms by sales -- down 1.2 percentage points from a year earlier. 05 Aug 2025 10:54am People hold umbrellas during light rain as they walk past a pagoda on a street in Seoul on April 5, 2025. - (Photo by PEDRO PARDO / AFP) SEOUL - Major South Korean companies now employ fewer workers in their 20s than those aged 50 and above, reflecting reduced youth hiring amid an economic slowdown, Yonhap news agency reported citing an industry data. Data from corporate tracker Leaders Index showed that, as of end-2024, employees in their 20s accounted for 19.8 per cent of the workforce at 124 leading firms by sales -- down 1.2 percentage points from a year earlier. In contrast, the share of employees aged 50 or older rose 0.6 percentage point to 20.1 per cent, marking the first time since 2015, when the index began compiling such data that younger workers were outnumbered by older ones. It also marked the first time the share of workers under 30 fell below 20 per cent. The gap was most prominent in the battery industry, where the share of employees in their 20s declined by 9.7 percentage points over the past three years, while those aged 50 and above increased by 1.2 percentage points. A similar shift was seen in the information technology and electronics sector, where the share of younger workers dropped 5.4 percentage points. "Due to sluggish economic conditions, many industries have reduced new hiring, while older employees are delaying retirement,' an official from Leaders Index said. - BERNAMA More Like This
