The official with ultimate responsibility for the introduction of goods and services tax (GST) in Malaysia has won the award for Asia Tax Commissioner of the Year at International Tax Review's Asia Tax Awards in Singapore tonight.
The title is lengthy and unwieldy, but, as this translation, provided by the State Administration of Taxation shows, China’s ambitious tax reform, set out in 31 tasks, includes a focus on international tax cooperation and an explanation of what state and local tax authorities are responsible for and how they should work together. The goal is to establish a modern tax collection and administrative system by 2020.
