Background and Introduction
GST is known as a government goods and services tax. It is a Malaysian value-added tax levied on most of the goods and services that is sold for domestic utilization. The establishment of Malaysian GST levied on 1st April 2015 by our prime minister Dato’Sri Haji Mohammad Najib bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak is in order to make revenue for the federal government. The main source to generate the GST levied is from the goods and services tax paid by the consumers.

As overall, GST is a value added tax that implements to replace the sales and services tax (SST). The welcoming of GST or goods and services tax in Malaysia, believe that first of all will increase the monetary value. Before implementing the GST, the SST makes an increase in the inflation rate. Inflation is actually the increase of an overall price due to the multiple taxes charged within the process of each system in processing of goods and services. When GST implemented, GST take over all the multiple tax that was charged differently which was not fair to most of the consumers who are obtain goods or services. By implementing GST, each consumer need to pay a fair tax either they obtain a huge amount of items and services or less amount of items or services. This will eventually increase or raise the monetary value for the Malaysian government. The incremental might possible happen because all the consumptions of goods and services need to pay GST tax. (Anita, Doraisami, 2000). Therefore, everyone who stays in Malaysia adding with foreigners who visit Malaysia have to pay GST which will increase the revenue or monetary value of the country. As view on the long term economy perspective, GST as a more effective and efficient tax system will assist in decreasing the fiscal deficit in Malaysia.

It is believed that the establishment of GST expected to boost the government’s income and the dependence on oil revenue will be lessen. Moreover, GST is focus to decrease the universal administration slippage which attack a more than 20-year high of 7.4 per cent of gross domestic product in 2009. Besides, the revenue tend to rise to RM1bil in the first year and help the business and industry sectors to save Rm4.1bil and export sector will save for Rm1.4bil after the implementation of GST in Malaysia. On the other hand, Malaysia as a developing country it is important to review its fiscal policy. Malaysia should also need to prepare for any possible economic dilemma to magnify the competitiveness in the global market. The ideas of implementing GST can overcome all its fiscal policy issues and competitiveness in the global market. As an overall, it can tend to increase the living standard of the impecunious and at the same time the more equitable society can be
There is major implications for Australian businesses who currently do pay operate tax and GST as they are the ones having to compete with the new Peer-to-peer empire. The effect on the Taxi industry alone shows the huge impact peer-to-peer companies like Uber can have upon the value of an existing industry. There is a perceived “unfairness” for Australian businesses against these new international players. As one of the treasury departments key policy values is to promote Australian businesses, something but be done to give the Australian businesses an even playing field. Policy Context Important to note the current policy suggestions for companies engaging in BEPS by OECD (The international Organisation for Economic Co-opperation and Development) as the OECD has funded extensive research into possible policy solutions for individual and multilateral
The goal of Daneri research is to gauge the effect a NIT would have on labor supply, tax rates, savings rate, and general welfare of citizens. Daneri hopes the NIT will address the problem of households with similar incomes, that pay different tax rates due to the complexity of the present tax code. Additionally, Daneri believes the NIT can lessen the burden that low and middle-income families feel when their income rise, along with their marginal tax rate, and they are phase-out of welfare programs making them worse off. The implementation of the NIT would be a combination of a constant marginal tax rate and a lump-sum transfer payment to all households. The NIT would work as the following, at the beginning of
The system, determined by the polls and focus groups, included a method of taxation that would be voluntary and citizens would pay what and when they choose by how they chose to spend their money. This system, or the FairTax, was a national sales tax on goods and services sold at retail to consumers, which includes all unused items. This tax system would replace the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and all income taxes and citizens would be required to pay an embedded personal consumption tax of twenty-three percent rather than the current twenty-two percent embedded tax (Boortz, Linder p.76). The FairTax Book effectively describes the United States’ current tax system as well as the benefits of the FairTax system. However, in order to determine if the FairTax system would be beneficial within the United States’ economy, it is necessary to first understand the effects on prices of goods and
The fruits of growth must be widely shared. More jobs must be made available to those who have been bypassed until now. And the tax system must be made fairer and simpler. Secondly, private business and not the Government must lead the expansion in the future. Third, we must lower the rate of inflation and keep it down.
Literature review: spending of government sometimes cannot be stimulative because the government each money may be one dollar can injects to the tax that comes in economy or it is borrow in the future out of the economy. Tax rebates not always help the economy to increase because it comes under government grants and they do not encourage productivity Federal spending is considered as out of control and can grow faster when they are projected in the future that can burdens Americans and making future saddle foe generations with a massive, and cannot be affordable debt. It is necessary that congress should cut current spending and can save for future through entitlement reforms. It can be achievable by not raising taxes and assuring the grants
I believe taxes affects government economic policy today by increasing or decreasing the amount of money the government makes. The purpose of taxes is to raise revenue to fund the government. Money provided by taxation has been used by states and their functional equivalents throughout history to carry out many functions. Some of these include expenditures on economic infrastructure, military, scientific research, culture and the arts, public works, distribution, data collection and dissemination, public insurance, and the operation of government itself. The different reforms I would like to see are the lowering the taxes on basic goods and increasing it on luxury items.
Theories of Global Inequality A close look at the UN Sustainable Development Goals will reveal that global inequality is a serious problem that is manifested in various forms. To tackle global inequality, it is important to understand why and how it exists, and various theoretical perspectives can provide different insights into this complex problem. Modernization theory, Dependency theory, and Globalization theory all try to understand global inequality from different angles. While each has its own strengths, weaknesses, and biases, globalization theory seems to be the most suitable for understanding global inequality.
The federal tax system is plagued with issues: It doesn 't raise sufficient revenue to back government spending, it is unpredictable, it makes results that are unreasonable, and it impedes monetary productivity. This part examines a few approaches to enhance charges, including making an esteem included duty, expanding natural taxes, improving the corporate expense, treating low-and center pay workers evenhandedly and productively, and guaranteeing suitable tax collection of high-wage family units. A good tax system raises the incomes expected to fund government spending in a way that is as basic, evenhanded, and development well growth as could reasonably be expected. The United States does not have a good tax system.
Governments throughout the world intervene in the health sector. It is hardly for any economic activity to be free from the government intervention. In Malaysia, the government intervention shown in the three main categories, including provision of goods and services, redistribution and regulation under the dominant scopes of financing, production or delivery as well as regulation of healthcare industries (Folland, Goodman, & Stano, 2010). Undeniably, there are many factors could motivate intervention in healthcare by the government such as equity, efficiency and monopoly power. It is true that all these factors are arises due to the existence of market failure which acts as an economic rationale for government intervention.
All the population in every country is committed to achieve a better and higher standard of living. Every single individual wish to have adequate amount of food, good health, literacy, education, being employed and better income in their lives. The current rate of population growth is a crucial barrier to the achievement of these goals. Population growth is one of the dominant concerns of today world as human population is growing at an alarming rate and is not a static factor. The resources on the earth remain constant in spite of the mushrooming growth of the population.
In countries such as Italy, taxpayers regularly challenge tax legislation on constitutional grounds. Taxpayers in the US continue to challenge the US progressive rate structure at trial and appeals court levels without success. In Mauritius, we do not have ample case law related to the taxpayers’ right but in case of a dispute regarding taxation, the court should be able to censure any excessively high tax burden on citizens. Some rare case exist for instance when the NRPT was introduced.
Why I think income inequality is increasing in the United States? In my Opinion, the reason of income inequality is increasing in the United States is Growing Market. The globalized markets in the US are break downs the boundary of smaller, local market and provides new platforms and new audience to trades. The US government allowed artisan, farmer, and manufacturer to open their products and services to the global economic. This meaning that the purveyors do not have to rely on small, local market makes a living and it mean that others around a global can have access for their goods.
Thus, it will boost the economic status of the country as well as to increase the Gross Domestic Product of the
The Malay laws (Adat) Malay customary law is called “adat”, is a word came from Arabic. Adat in general means a right to conduct an in common usage, it stands for a change of things all connected with proper social culture and behavior. Therefore, it will imply rules of etiquette and the ceremonies recommended for a certain occasion such as marriage as well as those customs which have legal consequences. Being the customs law at a certain time in a certain place, adat is flexible and adaptable to social needs and not suitable for codification. The Malay law was not be taken seriously as representing the adat law in a certain state.
Just as in other countries, the law in Malaysia can be found not only in legislation, but also in cases decided by the courts. The courts in question are the Federal Court, the Court of Appeal, and the two High Courts. This is because only decisions of superior courts are sources of law as they are the courts that decide on matters of law whereas lower courts generally discuss on matters of fact. Decisions of the higher courts are binding to the lower courts which is known as stare decisis. Stare decisis is a latin term which means to stand by what has been decided.
