消費稅一旦落實‧須確保2週內退稅

17/12/2009 星洲日报


(雪蘭莪‧八打靈再也)馬來西亞中小型工業聯合會總秘書李得民認為,政府在落實消費稅政策的同時,應確保內陸稅收局所有公務員具備高效率的工作表現,以便商家在繳納消費稅的2週內,即可獲得退稅。
盼政府善用消費稅收
他說,這是政府之前對商家及企業做出的承諾和保證。他也希望政府能夠善用消費稅收,並透明及公平分配。
“每次當政府徵稅時,人民都會給得不甘願,並質疑我們的血汗錢去承哪裡?政府是時候以行動證明,讓人民改變想法。”
涉及許多繁重工作
他向《星洲日報》說,政府實行的消費稅制是依據消費者在每個消費環節進行徵稅,這種多層徵稅涉及許多繁重工作如計稅、納稅及呈報,不僅耗時耗力,增加人力成本,且降低公司流動資金。
“譬如,一間公司一天內開出300張出貨單,同時收到200張買貨單,商家同時是消費者,要計算和扣除當中的消費稅額,是很繁重的工作,相應需增加人手。”
“一旦消費稅政策實行後,商家每個月須向內陸稅收局呈報及繳稅消費稅,這表示商家先出錢納稅,而要等2週才獲得當局退稅,如果當局效率不彰,商家的流動資金自然減低,影響運作。”
針對第二財長拿督斯里阿末胡斯尼說,在新稅制下,只有每年營業額超過50萬令吉的商店才須繳付消費稅,超過70%的中小型企業可豁免繳付消費稅,李得民的看法是,一間店或公司若年營業額少過50萬令吉,表示每個月只做到4萬2000令吉的生意,這屬於微型企業,如家庭式企業、小販等,事實上若政府嚴厲監督和管制,很多商家皆需繳消費稅。
廖進樑:不擔心衝擊布疋百貨業
馬來西亞布疋百貨製衣總會總會長廖進樑說,每項新政策有好和壞,實行一段時間後,消費者自然會適應並精打細算,所以他不擔心消費稅落實後,會對這個行業帶來衝擊。
他說,消費稅對同業的影響胥視2011年後的經濟情況而定,目前言之過早,而且商家都懂得隨機應變,若到時消費能力低迷,不排除商家或以吸納消費稅策略來刺激銷量。
“消費稅多數影響中下層人士,他們可能因此少買衣服。”

零出口关税下月实施 厂商亏本大清货

23/12/2009 南洋商报

(八打灵再也23日讯)鉴于东协与中国自由贸易协定下的“零出口关税”制度即将于下个月起生效,包括食品、五金、机械、钢铁、家具、鞋子在内的多个工商领域首当其冲,供应商家纷纷赶在大限前以较低的价钱大清货,而蒙受“惨重”的损失。

马来西亚中小型企业公会总秘书李得民披露,其他受到严重冲击的领域,还包括汽车零件在内的零件制造商、漆料等等。

五金商冲击最大

他今日对《南洋商报》说,受到冲击最大的领域是五金商,他们大多数都设法把存货退回给供应商。

李得民举例,某个商家货仓里存有200万令吉的货物,后者被迫以比原价便宜几巴仙的价钱清货。

“假如他不赶在2010年1月1日前清货,这批货物要怎样处理?”

他指出,商家除了卖货,也向中国进货,由于担心中国货将在明年1月跌价,而纷纷在半年前开始以比来价较低的价格大清货。

“另个情况是进口商已进货,可是市场上却等待到了明年才买便宜货,造成他们清不掉存货,以致蒙受亏损。”

他说,也有商家已停止补货,或减少补货的数量。

受惠者仅20%

李得民认为,其实在“零出口关税”制度下受惠的本地商家,主要是向中国入口原料的领域,因为“零出口关税”制度后,原料会比较便宜。

他指出,受惠的原料包括食品、化学、铁、机械、皮革、塑胶、干粮等。

他说:“其实零出口关税制度下,受影响的商家大约有80%,而受惠者仅有20%。”

李得民强调,而且,当中国商品有征税时,本地商家已担心中国货的竞争,如今中国有逾9000种商品将零关税,商家更担心难和对方竞争。

“在这样的情况下,为甚么我国要与中国签署自由贸易协议?到底我国得利多少?”

他质问:“在自贸协议下,到底人民是否能买到更便宜的商品?商机又在那里?”

他补充,假如在双边贸易合作下,这项自贸协议能为我国换取中国向我国订购汽车或棕油,这还可接受。

无论如何,李得民促请政府向工商界与人民交待与中国签署自由贸易协议的目的。

他认为,不管怎样,这是短暂的痛,过了一两年后就没事了。

工商领域亏损难估计

李得民声称,工商领域蒙受的亏损很大,但他无法估计损失额,因为个别商家的经营手法及面对的问题都不同。

“我只能说损失额很严重,严重到我们不敢估计出来,以免某些银行不贷款给业者!”

针对受影响的商家将如何应付过渡时期,他透露,由于中国的制成品比我国的产品比较便宜,因此有些商家将会入口中国货,然后经过改良和包装后推出市场。“为了提高竞争力,加上生产成本高,他们可能被迫停止生产,直接从中国进口制成品来卖。”

2010 Budget feedback from Small and Medium Industries Association of Malaysia With Yb Tiam Chua

  1. Consumer Purchasing power adversely affected:
F & B dropped by 15%
Fashion and garment dropped by 25%
Daily consumer products also affected

Stimulus package amounting to RM60 billion by the govt should be directed towards boosting domestic consumption instead of a more long term prime pumping confined to  infras projects  and construction, of which would take a longer gestation period to chain effect to the domestic to be spilled over by these sectors

Coupled with lack of liquidity, as a result consumers suffered and forced to tighten up their belts.

  1. Competitiveness and company tax: Suggestion to reduce company tax and income tax by phases to reach 18%

3.GST expected to be implemented soon .Govt spend RM140 million  to implement the system .GST shall replace the present Sales Tax and Service Tax structure
Suggestion: Govt should simplify the GST tax regime by removing the multiple taxing system (5 layers ) and refund ,thus saving administrative cost on the private sector , because eventually consumers are paying GST 

.Instead of the proposed 5% GST ,govt should consider reducing it to around 3%
On the other hand,by imposing GST ,govt should find way to repocicate the tax collected to allow taxpayers to feel the benefit of welfare by the govt..

4. Proposed double tax deduction for first year for wages increased of workers
Of SMIs. To encourage wages increase for workers.

5.Cut down  oversupply of energy reserve from the present 30-40% to a more realistic level as compared to other country which are much lower, so to benefit SMIs ,so that SMIs can enjoy lower tariff as compared to the present rate.

On the other hand, addressing the issue of energy from the source ,by lowering the price from Petronas  from the supplying source ,Petronas ought to play a more meaning role to assist SMIs to improve their competitiveness in the international market.

6. Charity tax exemption should be increased from the present 7% on the net income of SMIs in tandem with the promotion of a caring society. Provide more relief to handicapped and under-privileged people

7.Do away with Indah Water .sewage fee and abolish the exorbitant toll rate ,these should be able to increase the purchasing power of the consumers.


      8 On foreign workers:  SMIs required the service of foreign workers for Malaysian manufacturers to remain productive and their products to remain competitive in the market especially export market.

  The present Levy imposed on foreign workers are too high ,as foreign workers are very much needed  to do the labour jobs where locals shy away. Malaysia ought to maintain its foreign workers policy and extend the work permit of them in order that skilled and experience workers are retained for manufacturers.

Suggestion: Lower the levy of foreign workers , and allow longer service foreign workers whom are more experienced  to extend their work permit ,as their skill and experience are
an added value for local manufacturers.   And for foreign workers whom had landed and worked in Malaysia for a certain period., legalizing them is the most  effective way to solve the issue of illegal foreign workers .
