Malaysia to introduce luxury goods tax; mulls capital gains tax

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) – Malaysia will introduce a luxury goods tax this year and look into introducing capital gains tax in line with international standards, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said on Friday.

His comments come as Malaysia unveiled a scaled-back spending plan for the year despite a sharply slowing economy as Anwar focuses on narrowing the budget deficit.
