Budget 2024 Comments By Tan Sri Abdul Wahid Omar Chairman Of Bursa Malaysia, WWF Malaysia And MySDG Foundation

Date 13/10/2023

We are glad the Prime Minister (PM) cum Minister of Finance remains committed to an expansionary budget (with a record RM393.8 billion) but with fiscal responsibility by reducing fiscal deficit from 5.0% of GDP in 2023 to 4.3% in 2024 and further to 3.0% in the medium term in line with the Fiscal Responsibility Act (FRA). This will be achieved, among others, by enhancing tax collection effectiveness, gradual subsidy rationalisation and plugging leakages as well as broadening the revenue base with increase in SST to 8%, reintroduction of tax on luxury goods of 5%-10% and imposition of 10% capital gains tax (CGT) on shares in unlisted companies. The CGT will be effective 1 March 2024 with certain exemption for share disposals related to IPO activities, internal restructuring and venture capital companies. This will encourage more unlisted companies to list their shares on Bursa Malaysia thus spurring further growth in the capital market.
