News & Reviews:   budget 2020

All the news on digital tax has made many Malaysians sad this December. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be stopping yet. We've already heard of how Steam will be implementing digital tax for its platform earlier today and now Netflix has also announced that it will be revising its pricing for the Malaysian market.

When our government declared that platforms or services offering digital content are to be taxed in 2020, many of us were right to be concerned for our pockets. More and more companies are starting to implement this digital tax for services in Malaysia and the list is increasing. Following Google and Facebook, Sony has announced that the 6% tax will be added to the PlayStation Store for Malaysia.

As a wise man once said, nothing in this world can be said to be certain, except death and taxes. Malaysia's digital tax, as outlined in Budget 2020, is going to affect many companies next year. Google recently confirmed that all its digital services will have the tax applied and now Facebook is next on the chopping block, so to say.

Today, Budget 2020 was announced and if you only want to know if there are any upcoming changes in the tech industry, you've come to the right place. The list is quite long and we managed to look through the relevant ones so without further ado, check out our Budget 2020 Tech Round-Up below!
