Dr Wee urges govt to raise RM9,000 individual tax relief to RM12,000


KUALA LUMPUR: The RM9,000 individual relief that is automatically granted to Malaysians in their respective annual tax returns should be raised to RM12,000, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong (BN-Ayer Hitam).

Dr Wee said the RM9,000 individual relief in tax returns was not a realistic figure as it had not been revised in over 10 years.
