LVG tax will level playing field for local businesses, says trade association chief

JOHOR BARU: Implementing the low-value goods (LVG) tax is a move that will widen the tax base without affecting the lower-income groups, says the Malaysian Electrical Appliances Distribution Association (Meade).

Its chairman, Tan Chee How, said the move would allow local sellers, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs), to compete with foreign businesses in terms of services, proximity and consumer protection.
