According to an announcement from the Royal Malaysian Customs Department, the low-value goods (LVG) tax originally planned to come into effect on April 1 has been delayed indefinitely.

Legislation regarding how the tax will function has been in effect since early January this year, but the lack of an implementation date with the latest statement has left the deadline for its imposition up in the air.
