    can you actually build a software

  • title · middle

    maintain two sets of accounts

  • title · middle

    One is to submit to the government

  • title · middle

    Another is a complete one where

  • title · middle

    where I can be

  • title · middle

    more aware of

  • title · middle

    how my business is doing

  • title · middle

    and you're making

  • title · middle

    RM1 million a year

  • title · middle

    and let's say

  • title · middle

    the tax rate is 20%

  • title · middle

    essentially you're paying

  • title · middle

    RM200,000 right?

  • title · middle

    And at the same time

  • title · middle

    you have a competitor

  • title · middle

    but they are reporting

  • title · middle

    just half of it.

  • title · middle

    So they're paying

  • title · middle

    And the other

  • title · middle

    can happen to it?

  • title · middle

    It could then be

  • title · middle

    passed on to

  • title · middle

    to buy

  • title · end

    I think the reason for

  • title · end

    e-invoicing is actually

  • title · end

    to promote fairness and

  • title · end

    reduce tax leakage.

  • title · end

    From both businesses.

  • title · end

    But because one of the guys

  • title · end

    is only reporting half

  • title · end

    at the end of the day

  • title · end

    the government was only

  • title · end

    getting RM100,000 in.

  • title · end

    So, in total the government

  • title · end

    collected RM300,000.

  • title · end

    And the government needs

  • title · end

    RM400,000

  • title · end

    to actually breakeven.

  • title · end

    And there's a shortage

  • title · end

    of that RM100,000

  • title · end

    So in order to get this

  • title · end

    the government has to

  • title · end

    increase the tax rate to

  • title · end

    27% for businesses.

  • title · end

    That doesn't sound fair. Right?

Transcript

I think Malaysians are super creative. They worse just think of all sorts of different ways to actually evade tax. But I think having a a I was best making it harder bad in 2015. I still remember one of the worst I got from a business owner was, Jay, can you actually build a software that can help me to maintain two sets of account? One is to submit to the government. Another is a complete one where I can, be more aware of how my business is doing. Of of course, we can do that. So think about it. If today you bad the good guy, if you are making, like, 1,000,000, per year, and let's say the tax rate is 20%, essentially, you're paying 200,000. And at the same time, you have a competitor making about a cent, but they are, like, reporting half of it. So we are paying 100,000. And the other 100,000, you know what rank happen to it? It could be them passing on to the director and then buying some luxury. And I think the reason for e invoice is actually to, promote fairness and to actually reduce, tech leakage. Okay. Say the government was supposed to cap collect 400,000 from From both businesses. From best two businesses. Right? Yeah. But because of one of the guys only, like, reporting half, and end of the day, government was only getting 100,000 in. So in total, it was, like, 300,000. Correct. And the government needs 400,000 to actually break even, and there's a shortage of that 100,000. So in order to to actually, best this 100,000. Get this 100,000, government have to actually increase the tax rate to 27%. That doesn't sound fair. Right?
