Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim
KUALA LUMPUR: The dividend tax, initially set at five per cent, has been reduced to two per cent after considering appeals, including those from micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Anwar, who is also the Finance Minister, noted that MSMEs had requested an exemption from the dividend tax, arguing that they differ from listed companies.
