KOTA KINABALU: Sabah has collected RM7.36bil in petroleum-related taxes as of March, significantly boosting its revenue since the state sales tax on petroleum products was introduced in 2020.
Although often credited to the Warisan Plus government, state Finance Minister Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun explained that the groundwork for the petroleum tax was laid by the previous administration in 2012, with studies completed in 2014.
