PETALING JAYA: Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are willing to hire and pay a fair salary for women returning to work, with some buoyed by a proposed tax exemption, and many say they have uncovered some gems.
Following Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s Budget 2025 announcement that the government is proposing additional income tax exemption of 50% for 12 months to employers that hire women who are returning to the workplace, SMEs have begun employing such women.
