Kota Kinabalu: Amendments to the Sabah State Sales Tax Enactment 1998 are set to strengthen the implementation and revenue collection of the State’s Sales Tax.
State Attorney-General Brenndon Keith Soh said the Enactment currently contributes nearly half of the State’s annual revenue.
According to him, his department is also reviewing a new Native Court Enactment to streamline the structure and role of the institution, as well as drafting a Climate Change Enactment focused on the recognition and protection of the State’s carbon rights.
