KOTA KINABALU: Datuk Ewon Benedick will submit a proposed framework to the Federal and Sabah governments for the payment mechanism of the 40% tax revenue owed by Putrajaya to the state next year.

The president of Upko, a Pakatan Harapan component, said the proposed framework will take into account technical issues related to the availability of data related to the collection of federal revenue in Sabah since 1974.
