INTRODUCTIONIn May 2015, the Government unveiled the 11th Malaysia Plan covering the period of 2016 to 2020. The 11th Malaysia Plan is said to be the “final leap or round before entering the arena to achieve the status of the high income nation come 2020”. It has 2 very distinctive thrust ie being pro-growth & pro-people government. Hence, Budget 2016 will act as the trigger to the final 5 years of Malaysia’s progress to a high income advanced economy by 2020.

Budget 2016 is expected to demonstrate how these 2 broad strategic thrust can be translated into various fiscal measures in the form of direct taxes (income and RPGT) as well as the Goods & Services Tax (GST) treatment and rulings. This Budget is also the 1st Budget where the Royal Malaysian Customs will get to share the lime-light with their more conspicuous partner ie. The Inland Revenue Board on the stage.

We have lined up a panel of distinguished speakers with their respective expertise to present their critical analysis of the Budget announcement as well as a review of some of the latest developments with tips and suggestions (where relevant) for you to plan for the coming 2016 and to face a potentially tough economic conditions ahead.
