Move to boost SME timely, says PwC

SPECIAL focus was given to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) under Budget 2017, with a new tax scheme that will provide a reduction by stages, based on the company’s percentage of increase in income.

PwC senior executive director Lavindran Sandragasu noted that the boost for SMEs was timely, in line with increasing access to overseas markets with agreements such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA).
