Malaysia exempts imported masks from import tax and sales tax

According to the “Nanyang Siang Pau” report on March 23, Malaysian Transport Minister Wei Jiaxiang revealed that under the recommendation of the Ministry of Transport, Prime Minister Muhyiddin has agreed to exempt imported masks from the 20% import tax and 10% sales tax to prevent the price of masks from skyrocketing. He said he hoped that the measures to exempt masks from import taxes and sales taxes would reduce the consumption burden on the public. In addition, he also said that the Ministry of Transport will do its best to transport more masks to Malaysia by air to help the people fight the epidemic.
