MOT rujuk MoF isu cukai kargo minyak di Tanjung Langsat
Menteri Loke Siew Fook berkata kementeriannya akan dapatkan penjelasan susulan aduan pemain industri mengenai ketidakpastian cukai terhadap kargo minyak dicampur dalam tangki darat.
The Malaysian Transport Ministry is seeking clarification from the Ministry of Finance (MoF) regarding the tax issue concerning oil cargoes mixed in land tanks at Tanjung Langsat Port, Johor. Loke Siew Fook, the Transport Minister, stated that his department currently lacks information on the mechanism for determining the tax, as reported by the media yesterday.
The matter falls under both customs and MoF jurisdiction. The Transport Ministry will obtain further information from MoF, he added during a media briefing after a program. Yesterday, media reported concerns from industry players claiming uncertainty over the issue, which could potentially disrupt the business of shipping and petroleum at the port.
Jeyenderan Ramasamy urged the Royal Malaysian Customs Department (JKDM) to clarify whether the practice is permitted and how the tax should be applied. He emphasized that the matter is crucial as Tanjung Langsat Port handles petroleum cargoes being lifted from ships to land tanks during ship transfer or transhipment operations. Concerns arose previously over allegations of different consignors mixing oil in land tanks after being lifted from ships, which could potentially alter the cargo's condition and cause problems in classification, valuation, and taxation if records are not updated correctly.
